Deadline to contest your 2027 accident insurance factor (FAP)

Takes effect All of November 2026By WorkblissUpdated October 19, 2026

What’s happening

Each establishment's Accident Prevention Factor (FAP) multiplies its workplace accident insurance rate (SAT/RAT, 1% to 3% of payroll) by 0.5 to 2.0 based on its 2024-2025 accident and occupational illness record. The 2027 factors were released September 30, 2026, and about 3.9% of 4.3 million establishments got a penalty factor above 1.0; administrative challenges can be filed November 1-30, 2026.

What to do

Check your FAP and calculation memo on the FAP portal, contest errors by November 30, and use the accident data to target safety and wellbeing programs.
