About the Accident Prevention Services Program
The Accident Prevention Services program inspects insurance companies that provide workers' compensation coverage to Texas employers to ensure that they provide required accident prevention services to policyholders, such as surveys, consultations, recommendations, industrial hygiene/health services, claims history and accident analysis, and training.
The program also conducts policyholder visits to ensure the adequacy of the accident prevention services that are provided by insurance carriers. Items reviewed during policyholder inspections include written safety programs, written drug policies, safety hazards, and confirmation of services provided by the carrier.
The program is operated under the provisions of the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, Chapter 411, Subchapter E.
