The Indiana Public Employers’ Plan, Inc. (IPEP) has named the Town of Sheridan as a recipient of its 2021 safety grant award.
IPEP has partnered with Police Chief Bob Shock, Officer Nichole Gossman, along with Tony Vescovi with McGowan Insurance Group, 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. IPEP has grown to provide workers’ compensation claims administration for more than 700 public entities including cities, towns, counties, and schools.
