The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is responsible for the creation of health and safety rules for employers across the country. By following OSHA rules, a business can minimize the need to file claims on their worker's compensation insurance. Employees must report injuries immediately to qualify for worker's compensation. Worker's compensation will cover an injured worker's medical bills, rehabilitation, disability, and even death payments to their family.

Established under the Social Security Act of 1935, unemployment insurance is a joint effort of the federal and state governments. Employees who are laid off through no fault of their own can collect unemployment benefits for a given period while they look for new jobs. A wide variety of special insurances are available for individuals and businesses. Cost/benefit analysis is useful in determining which insurance coverage should be purchased.
