Local Red Bank Factors That Affect Your Workers Compensation Rates
Businesses located near high-traffic routes like Platt Springs Road or South Lake Drive may see higher risk factors due to increased delivery and customer traffic, which can affect workers compensation rates. The proximity to the White Knoll Sports Complex and several growing residential developments, like Red Bank Acres and Summer Knoll, means more young workers and seasonal employees, which can impact your policy needs. Employers near industrial parks off Old Barnwell Road may face different hazards than office-based businesses near Red Bank United Methodist Church.
