The Virginia Forestry Safety Group Self Insurance Association offers a Workers' Compensation Insurance Program which was formed by Self Insurance Services and Manry Rawls Insurance for logging and saw mills. Its objective is to reduce the net cost of Workers' Compensation Insurance for the logging members.

The Association provides specialized loss prevention programs tailored for each participating firm. Periodic computer printouts are provided to each member detailing their losses.
