Overview
The Workers' Compensation Cost Containment Act addresses the cost of workers' compensation insurance by encouraging employers to reduce workplace injuries and the claims that follow from them. It establishes a governing board, with defined powers and duties alongside those of a director, to administer a certification program recognizing employers that adopt qualifying cost containment and workplace safety programs. The act also creates a dedicated fund used to support these efforts, including grants-in-aid to participating employers or programs.
