EUGENE GARNERS HEALTH AND SAFETY AWARDS
AROUND THE CITY
Eugene Garners Health and Safety Awards
Healthiest Employer Award: For the sixth year in a row, the City of Eugene was named one of Oregon's
top ten healthiest employers of its size by the Portland Business Journal. The mission of the Healthiest
Employer program is to reward companies which demonstrate innovation and leadership in their
workplace wellness initiatives. Organizations were assessed in six key categories: Culture and Leadership
Commitment; Foundational Components; Strategic Planning; Communications and Marketing;
Programming and Interventions; and Reporting and Analysis.
LOC/CIS Safety Award: The City of Eugene was presented a silver safety award at the 2015
League of Oregon Cities (LOC) annual conference this fall. The award is a joint recognition
from the LOC and Citycounty Insurance Services (CIS) for excellence in safety performance and
low employee injury rates. The City has received an award annually since 2001.
Public Risk Management Award: Risk Services received Honorable Mention in the annual Public Risk
Management Association’s (PRIMA) Achievement Awards for a “Police Workers’ Compensation Benchmarking
Study” which analyzed the workers’ compensation claims data from many municipal police departments
around the state. The benchmark data helped Risk and Police Department staff identify areas to focus on for
improved employee safety.
For more information, contact Risk Services Director Myrnie Daut, Central Services Department, at 541-682-5790.
