February 20: About SAIF

Even though the largest workers’ comp insurance carrier has been around for more than 100 years, there still seems to be people out there who don’t know what we are or what we do. In this session, learn the history and purpose of SAIF, including a brief overview of operations. As a safety and health focused company, we will also share links to free resources to help employers keep their workers safe and healthy on the job.
