Town of Palmyra recipient of safety grant from IPEP

The Indiana Public Employers’ Plan Inc. recently announced that the Town of Palmyra was a recipient of its 2022 safety grant award.

IPEP partnered with Palmyra Town Marshal Dennis Lemmel, along with Spencer Burkhart of Burkhart Insurance Agency, to maximize opportunities to promote a safe work environment and assist with stretching their risk management resources.

The grant funds will be used to purchase safety equipment or safety training programs that will reduce or limit workers’ compensation exposure.

The Indiana Public Employers’ Plan Inc. was created in 1989 as a risk-sharing pool for public entities as a response to the need for public employers to find affordable workers’ compensation coverage. IPEP has grown to provide workers’ compensation claims administration for more than 700 public entities, including cities, towns, counties and schools.
