BACKGROUND:

The Department of Human Resources, Employee Benefits/Risk Management (EB/RM) section has been awarded grant funds from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation to assist with the development of a citywide transitional work program from the period of January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006. To qualify for the grant, the City of Columbus was required to use a BWC-accredited transitional work developer to design the on-site transitional work program.
