Bedminster Twp. Receives Safety Award
On Thursday, Oct. 29, the New Jersey School Boards Association Insurance
Group (NJSBAIG) awarded the Bedminster Township Board of Education its 2009 Safety Award.
The Bedminster Township Board of Education is one of 38 districts to receive this award of distinction from more than 300 districts in NJSBAIG's workers' compensation insurance pool.
Recipients of the award are selected based upon two criteria. First is the effort the Bedminster Township Board of Education put forth as measured by the New Jersey School Boards Association Insurance Group's Safety Assessment. The second criteria is the result achieved as measured by the workers' compensation loss ratio which is loss dollars divided by premium dollars.
The 2009 recipients were recognized for implementing an effective safety program in their districts. This minimized their workers' compensation costs. The ultimate benefit is to the taxpayers and students. The students will have fewer substitute employees so the continuity of their education is maintained at the highest level. The taxpayers will realize a savings, as the school district pays out lower insurance premiums.
The New Jersey School Boards Association Insurance Group, located in Burlington, is a nonprofit entity, which provides property and casualty insurance at reduced costs to public schools in New Jersey. It is the only statewide insurance pool for property, casualty, and workers' compensation in New Jersey.
