    Underwriting Guidelines

    An Ideal risk is: - Our goal is to write accounts that demonstrate an active concern for workplace safety and an average to above average ability to control losses and loss exposures. While the reality of the market involves risks with a wide range of operations, exposures, loss experience, safety controls, employee caliber, metropolitan to rural settings and litigious to reasonable claims jurisdictions, the ideal risk for ACE Comp lete will:

    • be experience rated at a modifier under 1.00
    • contain all operations at one location in one state
    • have a prior 5 year loss ratio under 35%
    • have been in business for more than 5 years
    • provide wages equal to or greater than industry average
    • provide medical plans to all its employees
    • be financially stable with no significant changes from prior operations
    • provide employees with a well maintained and safe work environment
    • have a return to work policy
    • be safety conscious and provide some form of safety program
    • properly screen employees through applications, reference checks,
      drug/alcohol tests
