The ASA–RCS Services Partnership

RCS's promise is to help its clients increase profits by lowering the human and financial costs of workers' compensation and many other risks or exposures—in other words, to protect employees and assets.

Since 1990, RCS has pioneered risk management strategies specific to the unique challenges of the staffing industry. Its extensive network of more than 900 clients operating more than 4,000 locations has helped define the loss control practices of an entire industry. This reputation is strongly reinforced by A-rated carriers throughout the insurance community. As insurance carriers seek out ways to control the unique exposures the staffing industry presents, more and more have turned to RCS.

RCS is the exclusive consulting firm responsible for certifying the practices of staffing companies under the guidelines of the Workers' Compensation Risk Certification (WRC). Developed with ASA, WRC recognizes best-in-class risk management within the staffing industry. More details about this program are available at staffingWRCs.com.

Benchmarking, Safety, and Training Services

RCS has the ability to compare your staffing firm's loss data to aggregated data available from the RCS client base broken down by workers' compensation class code. The staffing firm's payroll by code and the aggregated data will be used to construct a comparison model for your staffing firm to set goals and establish ROI expectations.

RCS offers comprehensive safety services designed to evaluate compliance, identify hazards, and provide enforceable safety solutions by providing reports of findings, recommendations, and corrective actions to the staffing firm. Its field safety services and training are designed to strengthen the relationship between the staffing firm and its client through enhancement of the safety partnership. RCS also provides independent third-party accident investigation and expert witness services.

RCS is authorized to provide the OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Hazard Recognition and Regulation classes to staffing services and their clients that may desire a higher level of training for their staff. Mock OSHA inspections are also available.

The RCS Internet Resource Center contains customizable tools, information, and resources specific to staffing firm needs. Webinars, on-demand training, and articles provide valuable information on industry hot topics, safety, health tips, and workers' compensation-related news. In-person training is also available and customizable to your specific needs.

At riskproducts.com, RCS can equip you with the tools necessary to screen out predatory applicants, as well as give your employees the training necessary to stay safe on the job.
