New insurance brokers review Connecticut safety-committee rules, offer training resources
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Town of Middlebury Safety & Health Committee heard a presentation from new insurance brokers Patrick McNally (Pointman Safety) and Kara Collins (Assured Partners) on state requirements and committee best practices, including a recommendation for quarterly inspections.
Patrick McNally, principal of Pointman Safety, and Kara Collins of Assured Partners introduced themselves to the Town of Middlebury Safety & Health Committee and presented a PowerPoint on May 20, 2026. McNally explained Connecticut requirements for safety committees and offered resources and follow-up assistance; he will email the presentation to committee members after the meeting.
McNally summarized statutory takeaways the committee should track: "Connecticut law requires a Safety and Health Committee if there are over twenty-five employees," management cannot outnumber employees, the chairperson is elected, and the committee typically consists of five to fifteen members. He also outlined core responsibilities and the need to establish a training program. Committee members agreed Mr. McNally’s attendance and assistance are provided at no cost to the town as part of the insurance package and asked that he return for future meetings.
