Franklin County awarded safety grant

Brookville, In. — The Indiana Public Employers’ Plan, Inc. (IPEP) is excited to announce Franklin County as a recipient of its 2019 safety grant award. IPEP is proud to partner with Joe Copeland, Franklin County Highway Engineer, and Ryan Hartzler, Patriot Insurance, to maximize opportunities to promote a safe work environment and assist with stretching their risk management resources.

The grant funds will be used to purchase safety equipment or safety training programs that will reduce or limit workers’ compensation exposure.

IPEP was created in 1989 as a risk-sharing pool for public entities, as a response to the need for public employers to find affordable workers’ compensation coverage.
