Universal Citation: 1100 CO Code Regs 3
Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024
(A) PROGRAM EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATION
(1) An employer seeking
certified status pursuant to §
8-14.5-107, C.R.S. must furnish to
the Board affirmative verification that all requirements of the approved
program have been, or will have been, in force for at least one year at the
time of certification. In order for a certificate to be issued to the employer
the application for certification, as well as further information the Board may
require as described in Section (A)(3), must be received in the offices of the
Board on or before the 20th day of the month prior to the next Board
meeting.
(2) In evaluating the
application for certification the Board shall consider the following
specifications plus loss history:
(a) Formal
declaration of a company-wide loss prevention and loss control policy including
designation of a representative responsible for overseeing the
policy.
(b) Formal creation of a
documented safety committee and/or coordinator.
(c) Clearly defined and conspicuously posted
loss prevention rules.
(d) All
employees undergo initial and ongoing job/task training.
(e) A cost containment program in cooperation
with a designated medical provider who has knowledge of work injuries, fee
schedules, employer's operations, and is decisive on
maximum-medical-improvement determinations, and communicates with the
employer.
(f) Written policies and
procedures on claims management which include accident investigation and an
early return to work/modified duty program.
(g) A copy of the insurance carrier's loss
reports covering the last three full policy years and the current policy
year-to-date together with the total number of hours worked by all employees
during each of those policy years.
(3) In consideration of the applicant's loss
and payroll information, the Board may require further information from those
employers showing a poor or deteriorating history of accidents and costs, and
may hold in abeyance the decision of granting or renewal of cost containment
certification status until such time as the applicant employer has responded.
Upon receipt of the applicant's response, the application will then be
considered at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting, whereupon the Board
may decide by majority vote to approve or deny certification. The Board
reserves the right to direct on-site employer inspections to verify
compliance.
(4) Cost containment
certification shall remain in force for an initial certification period of one
year, an initial renewal period of one year, and upon subsequent renewals for a
period of three years unless revoked by the Board, or cancelled, by the request
of the employer or by ownership transfer.
