The Oregon Contractors Workers' Compensation Trust, frequently referred to as "The Trust" by members, received its certificate of authority from the State of Oregon and began operations in 1997.  Since then, it has become an excellent choice for obtaining workers' compensation coverage for building and remodeling contractors, landscapers, nurseries and their suppliers.

The Trust has earned the endorsements of eleven trade associations that have come to view this program as a strong membership benefit.

More importantly, “The Trust" has saved its participants thousands of dollars a year in workers' compensation costs.  These savings have not come about by accident; they demonstrate commitment to excellence in underwriting, risk control, claims handling and risk management consultation. The Trust’s Mission Statement clearly speaks to this performance:

To provide our members and partners long-term access to superior risk management services, the quality of which, is measured by the effectiveness of lowering their cost of risk over time and membership services that strengthen the advantages of membership in our sponsoring associations.
