Technical Bulletins: Self-Insurance: A Tennessee City's Experience

This Technical Bulletin discusses the city of Kingsport's experience with self-insurance. Important elements in the initial establishment of this self-insured program included: (1) the development of a very stringent employee safety program; (2) the creation of a personnel safety department to administer the program; and (3) the development of a method for funding operation of the program. The key to success in the program was the proper assignment of responsibility.
