Supporting Factory Employers with Smarter Workers’ Compensation Strategies

Factories are the engine rooms of the economy—running complex operations that depend on coordination, precision, and safety. Yet even with the most experienced workforce and robust procedures, accidents happen. At Asch Workers’ Comp Strategy, we work side-by-side with factory employers across New York to reduce claim exposure, ensure compliance, and bring experienced oversight to your workers’ compensation and risk management efforts.

We offer fractional services, so you only get what you need, when you need it—integrating seamlessly with your existing team.

We Understand the Factory Environment

From metal fabrication and food processing to electronics assembly and plastics manufacturing, factory work comes with unique physical demands and risks. Your operations involve machinery, materials handling, repetitive tasks, temperature extremes, and complex shift schedules. Each one of those factors introduces potential hazards that must be proactively managed to prevent injuries and keep claims under control.

Common Injuries in Factory Settings

We’ve seen how seemingly minor issues can escalate when not addressed promptly. Among the most frequent injury types we help clients assess and manage are:

• Repetitive stress injuries from assembly line work and tool usage
• Crush injuries, amputations, or lacerations from moving machinery and press equipment
• Slips, trips, and falls on wet or cluttered surfaces
• Chemical exposure from cleaning agents, solvents, or production chemicals
• Heat-related illness in high-temperature facilities or during summer months
• Back injuries and herniations from lifting, twisting, and awkward postures
• Hearing loss from long-term exposure to industrial noise

In many cases, the initial report is too vague or incomplete to manage the claim effectively. That’s where we come in.

What We Offer Factory Employers

We tailor our services to the specific needs of your operation. Our role is to enhance your internal protocols—not replace them—and to bring clarity, consistency, and oversight where it’s needed most.

Here’s how we can help:

• Incident Investigation Support: We assist with standardizing your injury reporting procedures so they capture essential details right away—avoiding future surprises.
• Nurse Case Management Coordination: We identify when early nurse involvement can contain a claim, support employee recovery, and prevent unnecessary treatment escalations.
• OSHA Compliance Reviews: We help assess safety practices and guide employers toward compliance, particularly when citations or serious injuries occur.
• Actuarial & Claims Analysis: Understand your cost drivers, project future exposure, and make better-informed settlement decisions.
• Surveillance Strategy & Fraud Review: When red flags arise, we help assess whether surveillance or further review is warranted.
• Return-to-Work & Light Duty Program Design: Keep injured workers engaged and reduce indemnity exposure by getting them back safely and appropriately.

We Work With You—Not Around You

You don’t need a giant firm with a canned playbook. You need experienced insight applied to your actual processes and people. We work with your HR, safety, and risk departments as an extension of your internal team.

Whether you’re facing a sudden uptick in claims, planning a major expansion, or simply want to tighten your protocols before the next audit or injury, we’re ready to assist.

We help you keep your factory running efficiently—while minimizing disruption, cost, and compliance risk.
