What is Retro/Safety?

Workplace Safety and Workers' Comp Claims Management Consulting Services

Safety - We help Farm Bureau members implement a safe and healthy workplace to reduce the number of on-the-job injuries and accidents. Our Safety Directors conduct on-site workplace evaluations and provide training services in accident prevention. In the event of a serious injury, we will conduct an on-site evaluation to help members learn from the accident and prevent a reoccurrence. Find out more at WFB Safety Services

WFB Retro/Safety Program Details

WFB Retro/Safety

When it comes to retro programs, Farm Bureau Retro/Safety has been around since the beginning -- 1984. Overall we are among the largest when it comes to refunds, with Farm Bureau Retro/Safety members earning refunds approaching $80 million.

A successful retro program is all about teamwork. The goal is to reduce the frequency and severity of injuries, get injured workers the medical care they deserve, and get them back to work when appropriate. There is no better way to increase retro refunds than by preventing accidents in the first place!

The Farm Bureau Difference

Washington Farm Bureau started its Retro/Safety program to be more than just a financial benefit to our members. The Retro/Safety program includes safety training, safety program development and inspections, claims management and member education. Learn More »

Phone System Troubles (Fixed)

On Wednesday Sept. 12th, from 11am to 3pm our telephone circuit was out of service due to line damage.  Incoming/outgoing calls to our main office were met with a busy signal during this time.  The issue has since been resolved by the phone company.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.


Vote Records & Awards

Vote Record

Each year, the Washington Farm Bureau provides its members with an indication of how legislators voted on issues of interest to the agricultural community.

Our Vote Record documents votes during the sessions of Legislature and shows whether a legislator voted for or against Farm Bureau's position on key bills.

This scorecard supplies Farm Bureau members with a tool to help assess the performance of their elected officials. It does not provide a complete portrait of a legislator's role in behind-the-scenes efforts, their sponsorship of bills, their work on important budget provisos, their leadership qualities, or their responsiveness to constituent requests. In many cases, certain bills were not brought up for a vote, so there is no official record of a legislator's position on some issues. Learn More »
