Occupational Safety & Risk Resilience

Occupational Safety ensures safe and healthful working conditions for the university's employees, students, contractors, and visitors by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance.

The University of Maryland is self-insured for Workers’ Compensation, and the plan is administered by IWIF, a division of Chesapeake Employers'

The University of Maryland is a self-insured agency of the State of Maryland for Liability and Property Coverage. The State self-insures a significant portion of its exposures and maintains the State Insurance Trust Fund to pay claims and the costs associated with handling those claims. Self-insurance coverage includes State-owned real and personal property, vehicles, and liability claims covered under the Maryland Tort Claims Act.
