COLUMBUS - Colorado County has earned a 2024 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 workers’ compensation claims.
To qualify for this award, the county must participate in TAC RMP’s Workers’ Compensation Program, have a safety program or accident prevention plan and have an active safety committee. This is the highest honor a county can receive from TAC RMP for its commitment to safety. In Texas counties, only 3% receive this accomplishment. Colorado County has received this award for seven consecutive years.
Through its commitment to safe practices among county employees, Colorado County works to reduce employee injuries and obtain substantial savings for taxpayers by minimizing workers’ compensation costs.
The county is one of 12 TAC RMP members statewide who have earned this award.
Governed by a board of coun- ty officials, TAC RMP has pro vided counties with protection against risks and liabilities for over 50 years.
TAC RMP’s risk control programs and services help Texas counties promote safety and save tax dollars.
