Since 1995 State Fund and the Golden State Builders Exchanges (GSBE) have been working together to provide workers’ compensation insurance to construction employers. GSBE is composed of 26 regional builders exchanges and associations throughout California, giving it a broad-based membership of businesses that have made the State Fund/GSBE partnership the largest State fund group program.
Construction-industry employers trust the GSBE group program for its stability and its member benefits, particularly in this areas of safety and training. These employers receive much more than a 6 percent group discount of their premium. Because worker safety is the foundation of the group program, the total value of membership extends to worker’ compensation cost savings and long-term protection of valued employees.
- Each local builder exchange (like the Sacramento Regional Builders Exchange) or association conducts safety training and seminars.
- Through the group program, State Fund offers construction specific loss control and safety services.
- GSBE and the regional builders exchanges and associations provide online resources suchas safety newsletters, safety meeting topics, video safety clips, and Cal/OSHA updates and information.
