Drew County receives safety award at AAC Conference
The Association of Arkansas Counties (AAC) awarded its annual safety awards during its 56th annual conference, held Aug. 7-9, 2024, in Hot Springs/Garland County. The Safety Award Program was established by the AAC to recognize those counties that have made outstanding efforts to provide a safe working environment for employees. Each county is evaluated annually based upon a 100-point grading system, with the possibility of 15 bonus points for qualifying counties. Those counties receiving a grade of 75 to 115 points are presented a safety award. Counties that are under the Worker’s Compensation Rule 32 Hazard Program do not qualify for a safety award, nor will they qualify if the Loss Ratio is 50 percent or above. The loss ratio calculation is based on 2023.
