Safety and Loss Control

Premium Cost Containment

The Division of Workers' Compensation partners with employers to protect and promote the integrity, vitality, and safety of Colorado’s workforce through the Premium Cost Containment Program. Through this program, employers will find ways to reduce workplace injuries and insurance-related costs. 

Any employer, big and small, can become certified by applying to the Premium Cost Containment Board and documenting that there has been a qualified risk management program in force for at least one full year. Certified employers are eligible for a reduction in workers' compensation insurance premiums of up to 10%.
