Lower your EMR. Lower your premiums. Keep them there.
State 28 cuts your workers' comp cost, builds the safety program that keeps it down, and gives you a branded app to run it all. One certified operator, not three vendors who don't talk to each other. Led by Dustin Smith, a Certified Safety Professional and licensed Texas insurance agent with 13 years across oil & gas, construction, wind and solar, manufacturing, and fleet.
EMR Savings Estimator
Most firms sell you a binder. We change the number on your premium.
Safety consulting, insurance placement, and the software to hold it together, from one certified operator instead of three vendors who don't talk to each other.
Cut the cost
We start with an EMR and claims review, then drive the experience modifier down so your workers' comp premium follows it.
Run the program
We build and manage the safety management system that keeps your mod low: training, audits, claims control, OSHA-ready documentation.
Own the app
You get a branded safety app, built by us, so your team runs muster, reporting, and alerts from one place you actually own.
Your safety program, in one app you actually own.
The "system that does it all" isn't a slide. It's live software we build and run: real-time personnel accountability, incident reporting from the field, instant alerts, and multi-site dashboards, branded to your company.
- Real-time muster and headcount when it matters most
- Field incident and hazard reporting from any phone
- Instant mass alerts by text and push notification
- Multi-site dashboards and OSHA-style documentation
