Douglasville, a community with an eye toward the well-being of its workforce, has snagged a lucrative grant geared toward ramping up safety and reducing those bothersome insurance claims that can take a bite out of town finances. The Georgia Municipal Association, represented by their Municipal Services Consultant Michael McPherson, confirmed that Douglasville was selected once again to receive a piece of the Safety & Liability Management Grant Program pie.
Going above and beyond, this grant is a financial boon that will be funneled into vital training, the purchase of essential safety gear, and services aimed explicitly at keeping city workers out of harm's way. Thriving in a town that prioritizes their safety, Douglasville employees can work with a renewed sense of security. A statement obtained by the City of Douglasville official website quotes the city as saying, "Not only do these investments help our bottom line but it also increases employees' trust in knowing we’re going above and beyond to keep them safe in the workplace."
It's a savvy move by the city leadership, considering the potential cost savings when compared to the financial drain an insurance claim can produce. A reduction in work-related accidents not only keeps employees on the job, contributing to the town's efficiency, but also manifests in tangible financial benefits for the city's ledger through diminished insurance premiums and claim payouts.
While the specific figures involved in the grant were not disclosed, the sentiment shared by McPherson during his visit highlights the city’s continuous commitment to fostering a safer working environment. The move by GMA delivers not just theoretical support but a substantial endorsement of Douglasville's ongoing efforts to shield its workforce from the perils of public service. Employees, equipped with better training and tools thanks to the grant, are set to face the daily grind with a reinforced sense of security backing them.
Local officials and city workers alike are tipping their hats to the Georgia Municipal Association, grateful for the association's recognition of their proactive strides in safety and risk management. More information on Douglasville's award and the Georgia Municipal Association Safety & Liability Management Grant Program can be found on the City of Douglasville official website. This grant not only reflects the Georgia Municipal Association's confidence in Douglasville's initiatives but also shines a spotlight on the city as a model of municipal safety to be mirrored by peers across the Peach State.
