Monthly Claim and Safety Snapshots from Approach
Each month, we send our clients a snapshot of their claim and safety trends. Your monthly Composite Claims Report is a great tool for HR, safety professionals, and even your management or ownership team. The April report will be in your inbox next week, so let’s take a closer look at the valuable information you’ll find inside.
Tip: To find your monthly report, look for an email with the subject – “Your Company Name Composite Claims Report”
Up-to-Date Claims Status Reports
A workers’ comp claim can impact your rates for three to five years, plus reduce your Retro refunds for three years. So, we provide a look at any claims in the years that can affect your rates and refunds. At a glance, you can see:
- Which claims are open and which have closed
- Where costs are rising
- Number of low-cost “medical only” claims vs expensive claims with time-loss or other costly factors
This report shows open claims in bold. We can also see that this employer uses Kept-on-Salary, or KOS, to keep their claims costs as low as possible.

Executive Summary
Next, in the monthly report, is an executive summary page, showing the number of claims and total cost of claims for each year. This gives management and owners the quickest possible look at injury trends and the costs of those injuries over time.
Accident Reports and Safety Trends
There’s an enormous amount of data captured whenever a workplace accident occurs. (This may not be surprising considering the amount of paperwork involved!) At Approach, we use this data to provide you with informative visual-based charts and graphs that can help you reduce workplace accidents and injuries.
For example, your report might show a higher rate of slip and fall injuries, allowing your safety team (or ours!) to address this trend with new procedures, training or equipment. We even help you identify hidden trends such as:
- Days of the week with higher accident rates
- Accident-prone job titles or classifications
- Injury types resulting in higher claim costs
