Jefferson’s Ferry Workplace Safety Programs Earn State Recognition
New York State Department of Labor issued three certificates to Jefferson's Ferry for its implementation of three programs.
South Setauket, NY, January 11, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Jefferson’s Ferry Life Plan Retirement Community was recently recognized by the New York State Department of Labor for a trio of programs aimed at ensuring the safety of its employees. NYSDOL Commissioner of Labor Roberta Reardon issued three certificates to Jefferson’s Ferry for its implementation of Safety Incentive, Return to Work and Drug & Alcohol Prevention programs that satisfy the requirements of the state’s Workplace Safety and Loss Prevention Incentive Program (WSLPIP).
The purpose of the WSLPIP is to help reduce occupational injuries and illnesses in the workplace as well as the costs associated with them, and to return injured employees to work as quickly and safely as possible. The incentive program approvals granted by the state are effective for a period of three years, January 1, 2019-December 31, 2021, and are contingent upon the employer’s submission of annual reports to the NYSDOL. The incentive credit received is then applied by Jefferson’s Ferry’s insurance carrier and results in a drop in its workers’ compensation costs.
“We are pleased to be able to implement all three of the safety programs outlined by the State Department of Labor for our valued employees,” said Robert E. Caulfield, President and CEO of Jefferson’s Ferry. “Taking precautionary measures and ensuring the highest level of safety in the workplace is integral to the operation of any organization, and it allows us to continue maximizing our efficiency.”
