S.C. Timber Producers Assoc.
Crad Jaynes, President, South Carolina Timber Producers Assoc.
SC Timber Producers Association is proud to endorse and be a partner with Forestry Mutual Insurance Company as our association's workers' compensation and employers' liability carrier. Our relationship started twenty years ago when our association began our Property and Casualty Insurance Program.
Forestry Mutual Insurance Company (FMIC) representatives presented to the SCTPA board of directors. The board was impressed with the presentation of products and services and the professionalism displayed. The board was quick to decide to support and endorse the company.
One of the essential factors FMIC has is its knowledge of the timber harvesting and forestry industries. Having been involved previously in loss control and insurance services before coming to SCTPA, working and servicing loggers throughout the Southeast, it was clear the personnel and company had excellent industry experience. As it is said in the insurance industry, "you better know and understand what you are insuring." It is so important to know what and who you are insuring.
One critical service to reduce loss risks is safety and loss control. FMIC provides loss control and safety services at a high degree of performance. Their safety staff is experienced and knowledgeable of
the risks and hazards associated with the timber harvesting and timber trucking segments. Forestry Mutual knows and understands how to assist in reducing the potential for accidents and losses. While not all accidents can be prevented, providing proper safety guidance through services and programs can reduce or eliminate many risks and losses.
Forestry Mutuals agents and service staffs are knowledgeable and experienced in providing their clients with assistance on insurance policies and coverages. An experienced and knowledgeable staff assures policyholders that their insurance needs are handled properly.
Forestry Mutual has supported SCTPA financially and has been an Allied Supplier Member all these years. FMIC is a regular annual meeting sponsor and participant. Their SC staff has attended SCTPA district meetings and assisted in the SC SFI Timber Operations Professional (TOP) Logger Training Program. The company produces high-quality safety videos that SCTPA has used over the years. Being a partner with FMIC is very beneficial to SCTPA and our members. Again, SCTPA is proud to endorse Forestry Mutual Insurance Company and be a partner with them.
