Group Rating Sponsors
The BWC requires all Group Rating Sponsors to annually publish the Group Rating Safety Accountability Letter by the end of September. The letter serves to inform your group rating members of the specific safety related roles, responsibilities and expectations of the parties involved in your group rating program. We suggest that you post the letter on your webpage and distribute it through your newsletter or email blasts. I have attached the Accountability Letter with this email.
 
As a reminder, please make sure that you include our webpage link on your website. The Accountability Letter and other safety related information and material is available to your members on our webpage at http://sedgwick.com/ohiotpa/resources.
