“We’ve carefully studied
circumstances in which
serious accidents occur
and determined the three
seconds before a task is
performed can impact what
happens next. The chances
of avoiding a serious accident
are greatly improved when
a worker is conditioned to
stop and think about safety

workplace safety. Through N3L3,

Companies, organizations, and
government have come a long way
in implementing safety programs
to help keep employees safe from
workplace injuries. But evidence
shows while minor accidents have
declined, the more serious ones
have not. In some industries,
serious accidents are on the rise.
In many injury cases, the worker,
although trained, fails to take
proper safety precautions and
makes a risky decision that leads
to an accident. Eastern Alliance,
a workers’ compensation specialist
serving companies in the Mid-
Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest,
New England, and Gulf South
regions of the United States,
has addressed this problem by
introducing N3L3 ® – a unique,
value- added risk management
service whose mission is to change
the way a worker thinks about on
the job safety.
Eastern Alliance developed N3L3
(which stands for “The Next Three
Seconds Protects Your Life, Your
Loved Ones, Your Livelihood ® ”)
to provide proactive education
and training to policyholders
and their employees in all areas
of safety. The goal of N3L3 is
to have workers pause and reflect
– instinctively – for three seconds
so they can identify a potentially
dangerous situation and employ
safety measures that will ultimately
help avoid a fatality or life-changing
event.
Cindy Sklar, Senior Vice President,
Underwriting and Risk Manage-
ment, says the N3L3 philosophy
helps employers and workers
evolve their company culture
while thinking differently about
workplace hazards.
