County staff reports workers' comp walkthrough findings; jail claims keep rate high
Summary
A staff update on a Wyoming Workforce Services walk-through listed minor hazards corrected (frayed extension cord, unlabeled containers, broken outlet cover) and noted county 300 logs and jail claims are driving the workers' comp rate.
County staff delivered an update on recent Wyoming Workforce Services inspections and the county’s workers’ compensation status. The presenter said the county received a discount in January after correcting identified hazards during a multi-day walkthrough.
She listed examples of hazards identified during the audit — a frayed extension cord, broken outlet covers, unlabeled hazardous secondary containers and an unlit exit sign — and said most were corrected. The presenter explained the county’s 300 logs (injury/claim reports) determine insurance rates and that the jail’s claims are the primary factor keeping the rate high.
Commissioners discussed access to 300-log data and options to reduce injuries through training and targeted safety measures. Staff agreed to provide additional access or redacted reports that let commissioners identify recurring injury types so the county can address root causes and potentially reduce future premiums.
