Blugold Safety Program
Blugold Safety Program
Offered through UWEC’s Department of Risk Management, Safety and Sustainability, this program was created to help increase safety on campus and, at the same time, help lower the risk of injury.
The program is designed to increase awareness of employee safety and to provide a funding tool that allows the campus to invest in loss prevention programs and efforts. The program is to help reduce... 1)property loss claims, 2)employee injuries and 3)corresponding workers' compensation claims.
Goals: The university will use this program to help fund department-requested Loss Prevention/Loss Control ("LP/LC") projects through an application process. Benefits may include:
- Increased safety measures
- Improved efficiencies and compliance
- Reduced insurance premiums
- Fewer accidents
Applications: Departments must complete the “Blugold Safety Program Funding Application” form for their project proposals. These LP/LC proposals can be submitted by any department from UWEC Eau Claire campus or Barron County Campus. The application form can be found here.
Project proposals should address areas concerning risk relating to Workers’ Compensation, Liability, and/or Property. You must also obtain approval of the supervisor within your department. All proposals are subject to applicable procurement, purchasing, and servicing requirements.
All proposals will be reviewed and approved by the University Safety Committee. Maximum funding assistance is $2,500 and subject to approval. Completed proposals will be reviewed by the University Safety Committee.
More information and program guidelines can be found here.
