Wood County recognized with work safety award

Posted

Wood County has earned a 2019 Excellence in Safety Award from the Texas Association of Counties Risk Management Pool (TAC RMP) for its record of excellence in involvement and commitment to safety in the workplace, as well as for controlling worker’s compensation claims.

To qualify for the award, the county must participate in the TAC RMP Worker’s Compensation Program, have a safety program or accident prevention plan and have an active safety committee.

Through its commitment to safe practices among county employees, Wood County works to reduce employee injuries and obtain substantial savings for taxpayers by minimizing worker’s compensation costs.

The county is one of 20 TAC RMP members statewide who have earned this award. Governed by a board of county officials, TAC RMP has provided counties with protection against risks and liabilities for 40 years. TAC RMP’s risk control programs and services, delivered to more than 400 members, help Texas counties promote safety and save dollars.
