With our fifth annual National Underwriter “Awards For Excellence In Workers' Compensation Risk Management,” sponsored by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, we again highlight examples of outstanding loss control, safety and return-to-work programs.

This year's awards were presented to three innovative organizations:

  • The City of Knoxville, Tenn. (this year's Champion and our first-ever public-sector award winner)
  • Kennametal Inc. (Honorable Mention)
  • Community Health Systems (CHS) Professional Service Corp. (Honorable Mention)

In addition to the company profiles featured in the Aug. 22/29 issue of National Underwriter, the risk managers from these award-winning companies participated in a roundtable discussion at the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference in Orlando on Aug. 23.

The panel was part of the “National Trends Program” put together by NU in conjunction with the conference organizer, the Florida Workers' Compensation Institute. Caroline McDonald, NU's assistant managing editor, moderated.
