The excellent worker safety record complied by the Town of Churubusco employees has earned for this government entity the Indiana Public Employers’ Plan safety award for calendar year 2009.
The award not only rewards the prevention of accidents among employees, but also emphasizes the cost savings to governmental agencies by keeping workers on the job.
The Town of Churubusco is one of 505 governmental entities throughout the state of Indiana whose employees are covered by Indiana Public Employers’ Plan, Inc. (IPEP). This is the only self-funded workers compensation risk-sharing group in the state.
When governmental official’s couple safety programs with cost control and claims management efforts, they recognize the many advantages of participating in an alternative insurance plan.
The award was presented to the Town of Churubusco and its employees at the October 20 council meeting by Mark Coonrod, a representative of Star Insurance.
