Safety & Loss Control

The 2020 KACo Insurance Grant Program is now open. Click HERE to apply. 
Deadline: Sept. 17, 2020

2020 The KACo Safety & Loss Control Department is committed to assisting all members of the KACo All Lines Fund (KALF) and the KACo Workers Compensation Fund to identify, address, and correct adverse loss exposures to personal injuries, liability exposures and property losses.

The knowledge and expertise necessary to identify and control risks are not normally part of a county government's (or political subdivision of a county government's) core ability. KACo, KALF and the KACo Workers Compensation Fund provide a reliable and efficient alternative to in-house resources for safety and loss control management. The services offered through the Safety & Loss Control program were created to make communities safer, and save counties money by limiting losses and lowering premium dollars.

In addition, KACo provides an online sample administrative code, including a detailed Personnel Chapter that can be utilized when reviewing or amending your existing Administrative Code or Employee Handbook.
