The Return on POD

Documented safety programs don't just prevent incidents. They reduce your insurance costs, qualify you for bids, and pay for themselves many times over.

31% Fewer Incidents

-31%

Daily hazard documentation and near-miss tracking catch problems before they become claims.

EMR Recovery to 0.78

0.78

Documented safety programs, proper claim management, and early intervention reduce your mod rate below industry average.

$0 Excess Premium

$0

With EMR at 0.78, you pay less than the industry base rate. Your competitors with 1.18 subsidize your discount.

Bid Qualification Restored

100%

Sub-1.0 EMR qualifies you for every bid. Owners and public agencies require EMR documentation — POD produces it instantly.

Two Paths: Spiral Down or Climb Back

Without documentation, every incident pushes your EMR higher for 3 years. With POD, documented safety programs pull your mod rate below industry average.
