How to be more efficient with time and money is something that special districts deal with on a daily basis. For those of you who are members of the Colorado Special Districts Property, Liability and Workers’ Comp Insurance Pool, you’re already on the right track. For those of you who aren’t taking advantage of the Pool’s great coverage and pricing, you might be interested to know that the Pool specializes in training and loss prevention.
In May of 2010, the Pool’s Training Scholarship Program was originally rolled out, and it is one of the most popular programs with both members and prospective members, especially when it comes to attending the SDA Annual Conference. In 2011, the Pool offered twenty-five scholarships to the SDA Annual Conference, with SDA adding another five.
Another source of training is the Pool’s Supervisor Training covering:
- basic risk management for special districts
- supervisor drug/alcohol recognition (reasonable cause)
- workers’ compensation issues for supervisors
- district liability under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act
- risk management using the safety committee
- conducting pre-employment screening and baseline testing
- managing supervisor liability, civil rights, and harassment
- creating an effective fleet safety program
- supervising an employee on modified duty
- the process of the supervisor investigation
- conducting the accident/incident investigation
- Pool coverage, people and services overview
The Pool and SDA encourage you to consider your options to save both time and money for your district. We can help, contact the Pool at www.csdpool.com for more information.
