MOBILE, Ala. — The American Equity Underwriters, Inc., the leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance for waterfront employers, announces the winners of the 2024 AEU Safety Awards.
AEU, the program administrator for American Longshore Mutual Association (ALMA), a group self-insurance fund providing USL&H coverage under the United States Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, presents the awards each year to the best-performing ALMA members nationwide.
“Safety is not just a goal. It is a standard that these companies live by every day,” said Jimmy Burgin, SVP, Director of Loss Control. “We are proud to recognize their efforts and the example they set for the entire industry.”
Eligibility for the awards is based on the frequency and severity of workers’ compensation incidents for the prior calendar year, as well as safety-related metrics determined by AEU’s loss control team.
