BWC new Safety Management Self-Assessment form

A new service offering on the BWC web site ohiobwc.com was implemented recently that incorporates the (former) Safety Review (DFSP-2) into the DFSP program application process.

It is now the Safety Management Self-Assessment (SH-26). It is required of other BWC programs as well so the online submission will first determine if a form has previously been submitted.

If an SH-26 in not on file, the employer or their TPA of record will be prompted to enter the required form first. Then the DFSP application process will continue.
