In addition to being an essential insurer to the City, Preferred offers a wide array of benefits that augments the City's Risk Management Program. We appreciate the fact that they both provide cost effective, efficient and convenient opportunities to maintain safety at the forefront for all City employees. Risk Management professionals are faced with persistent challenges of emerging risks; consequently the need to be pro-active, educate and train employees is more crucial. Preferred has definitely risen to the occasion in providing extensive resources to aid the City's Risk Management initiatives.

As the Chairman of the Safety Committee for the City of Davenport, Florida, Preferred has given us the tools as a Municipality to train and keep our employees safe through the on-line training with Vector Solutions and streaming video Streamery (formerly known as TNN). Preferred’s Risk Management Staff offers on-going assistance and communication, from the development of our Safety Committee to the implementation of Claim Reviews. If you’re a Member and have responsibility for Worker’s Compensation and Safety Training, I encourage you to look at the free training that is offered- you will not be disappointed. Show your employees they matter, SAFETY is every employee’s concern. We are PROUD to be a Preferred Member.

Preferred plays a giant role in our safety program...They have created numerous avenues where fantastic online training can be achieved but the one we use the most is VECTOR SOLUTIONS. The training options are numerous, the site is user friendly and easy to navigate, the courses are thorough and what is great is that a certificate can be printed at the end of each course to keep in the employee files and to be sure that all the staff is receiving the proper training. In order to keep training, maintain skills, be safe on the job site, and create a great safety culture we think Preferred Risk Management and Vector Solutions is the answer.
