Join the Safety Council of Greater Columbus (SCGC) and potentially save up to 4% on workers’ compensation premiums.
SCGC is an expansion of the Builders Exchange’s efforts to meet the safety training needs of all Ohio employers, regardless of their affiliation with the Exchange. With more than 250 members, the council serves Ohio employers interested in promoting and improving worker safety which results in reduced worker’s comp costs.
Together with the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC), the SCGC holds monthly meetings to provide information on new techniques, products and services to help employers improve and promote safe workplaces.

Health insurance coverage continues to be a significant benefit for onboarding new and retaining current employees. To help employers with the costs of offering such an important benefit to their employees, the BX has joined the Southern Ohio Chamber Alliance (SOCA) Benefit Plan. This self-funded medical offering is known as a Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA).
The MEWA is being offered to BX members with up to 50 employees to help reduce their health care costs. It allows members to pool together to create buying power in order to purchase more affordable health insurance as one large group. By being part of a larger, self-funded pool, employers have financial protection backed by Anthem’s stop-loss coverage.
Join the BX, along with representatives from our BX-endorsed insurance partner, McGohan Brabender, for one of three informational sessions.
For more information about this new BX benefit or the information sessions, contact Stacy Sleeper.
