Important Deadlines for These BWC Programs

The end of July will bring deadlines for key programs under the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. By July 31, private employers:

• interested in participating in the Safety Council Rebate Program must enroll in a local safety council;
• participating in the Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP) or Industry-Specific Safety Program (ISSP) must submit a Safety Management Self-Assessment (SH-26); and
• in their first program year of DFSP must complete online the accident-analysis training (new supervisors must complete the training within 60 days of becoming a supervisor).

In the meantime, employers should be receiving their 2019 true-up notice and can start reporting payroll online. 7/2/2020
