From Injuries to Insurance: The Real Cost of Safety

from Blue Collar Nation · host Eric and Larry

Today Eric and Larry sit down with Eric Wick, founder of Safety Team Technologies. Eric breaks down how blue-collar companies can stop bleeding cash from preventable injuries and high workers’ comp. We get real about why paper manuals and sporadic tailgate talks don’t move the needle, how XMOD actually works (and why a single $40k claim can hammer your premiums for three years), and the simple habits that create a safety culture your team buys into. Eric shows how digital, mobile-first training can automate meetings, document everything for OSHA, track hazard assessments, and even gamify participation so it sticks. If you want fewer claims, lower insurance, and crews that go home in one piece, this one’s for you.Demo the platform at oursafetyteam.com — use code FRIENDLY20 for 20% off for life. TITLE SPONSOR:Super Tech UniversityDramatically improve your team's performance with a system of short daily video lessons training your team in soft skills.
