EFFFCT C? OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE CLAIM LOSSES ON V.'CEEMEU S
COMPENSATION INSURANCE PET PREMIUM RATE

.
Since much of the larpc Increase in car premium per year be^in-
nlry, July 1, 1961 is traceable to respiratory occupational disease,
claim losses, v;r arc up-rradins our preyran cf dust collection
c.r.d enforced respirator use. \i: are ernsi deriny: periodic chest
examinations by mobile unit and rotation to jc-bn without exposure.
Additionally, we :,re trying to obtain a men dm eat. s in the v' crimen1 o
Compensation Statute- particularly inclusion of asbestos.in the ;
handicapping disease sections.
' '
Tice lav provides for the regular
Fund, cr accident fund,'
and for- -the Occupational Disease nd- and for separate employer
contribution into each. Me believe the law requires that, payment
of Gccidcnc claim; be made out of one Fund, and occupational ai
seaso claims be de cut of the other, he may want to question the
Commission 1 s tr< rent of the Funds as a unit and the riphi of the
Actuarial Section to charre the cost of cccurnticnal disease claim
losses aqninst our experience
computing our .merit-rating noaifi-
cation for accident insuranc-:
Before m.ski' any decision, wc should hrcw what cur total cost of
