Attend 10 in-person safety council meetings between July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024.
At least eight, or all 10, attendances must be through attendances at Medina County Safety Council sponsored monthly meetings, seminars, or special events.
You can earn external training credit for up to two meetings through attendance at BWC-sponsored in-person or virtual training courses or in-person safety training from other external sources (e.g. industry associations, third party administrators, etc.). It is the employer’s responsibility to submit documentation to their safety council by June 30, 2024 for attendance at non-safety council safety training to qualify. Documentation must be an official certificate of attendance.
Additional safety council rebate eligibility guidelines: •
A person can represent only one policy number with their attendance at a safety council meeting or external training event.
Safety council monthly meetings do not qualify for meeting credit for any employer not enrolled in that safety council.
No matter the duration of the training, seminar, or conference, or how many employees participate, only one external training credit is earned per event.
Safety training conducted at an employer’s workplace does not qualify for safety council rebate program eligibility.
Virtual/online training does not qualify for safety council rebate program eligibility except BWC virtual training classes.
