Our take
Foresight’s insurance platform for construction and industrial workers makes it easier for brokers to find lower worker compensation premiums. It does this by leveraging data from its sister company Safesite, a safety and risk management platform, to better predict incidents and inform its policies.
Safesite, which is free for all Foresight policy holders, was actually the first company of the pair to emerge as a means of modernizing safety management and reducing on-site dangers. However, the founders spotted an opportunity to use its impact to reduce insurance costs as well, hence the birth of Foresight in 2020.
Workers’ compensation is usually the highest line insurance item for construction companies, and since traditional insurance companies tend to err on the side of caution with their policies, Foresight’s move to incentivize better risk management for lower premiums is a clever one.
The company’s early growth has been very encouraging, and with a fresh fundraise for parent company Foresight Group, the aim is to continue its steady expansion across the US.
