CBIA Workers' Compensation Program

If your business meets certain qualifications, as well as being a current CBIA member, you could realize substantial savings – upwards of 30% - in your workers’ compensation premiums. Our goal is simple: to help your company lower the costs of doing business - while protecting your people and company.

CBIA Comp Services workers’ comp program, administered by Berkley Administrators of CT, is a mutual company owned by our insured members, designed to lower and stabilize members’ workers’ compensation costs. The program is available to CBIA members with certain manufacturing class codes.

Our comprehensive workers’ comp program includes loss control and risk management, managed care services, claims administration, and easy claim reporting. We can even come to your plant, identify potential safety issues and help to create solutions – all in an effort to improve your company’s loss ratio and your bottom line.
