New Program Uses AI to Improve Workplace Safety
March 6, 2025 – Sacramento, CA – CompScience has partnered with Bender Insurance Solutions and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) to launch an innovative workers’ compensation program for California manufacturers. This collaboration aims to lower insurance costs, prevent workplace injuries, and improve safety using advanced AI technology.
Addressing Workers’ Compensation Challenges
California has over 35,000 manufacturers, most of which are small to medium-sized businesses. Rising workers’ comp costs and workplace injuries create financial and operational challenges. In 2023 alone, private industry employers reported 363,900 nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
AI-Driven Safety and Risk Prevention
CompScience’s AI technology integrates with existing camera systems to analyze workplace video footage, identifying hidden safety risks before they cause serious injuries. This proactive “active insurance” model shifts the focus from reacting to incidents to preventing them, benefiting both employers and employees.
Lance Hastings, President of CMTA, highlighted the impact:
“Manufacturers face increasing pressure from rising comp costs and the need to improve workplace safety. This innovative insurance product delivers personalized safety improvements and lower claims costs for California manufacturers.”
Josh Butler, Founder of CompScience, shared the program’s success:
“We’ve worked with manufacturers in industries ranging from metal fabrication to food processing. Our clients have seen a 55% reduction in claims frequency, allowing them to address risks before they lead to costly injuries or litigation.”

Underwritten by AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., one of the largest workers’ comp insurers in the U.S., the program offers:
- Coverage for 300+ manufacturing class codes
- Competitive pricing for cost-effective insurance
