RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Risk Management to execute a contract with TCS Risk Management Services to administer a county-wide ergonomic program effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019 in an amount not to exceed $591,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs for preventative evaluations and equipment will be charged directly to the Departments. Costs for administration of the ergonomic program will be paid from the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund.

BACKGROUND:

TCS Risk Management Services provides review and administration of ergonomic programs; employee ergonomic evaluations; installation of ergonomic equipment; discount pricing for equipment; training and coordination with departments; timely delivery of ergonomic evaluations and equipment to prevent or reduce the level of injuries sustained by employees. The results are savings in workers' compensation claims.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

This program, including the ergonomics laboratory and equipment, will not be available to meet the County's needs and satisfy current regulations.
