Optional Fields
Luther College had 17 recordable workplace injuries and occupational disease cases from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.
Luther College has a Risk Management and Safety Committee that meets every other month. This committee is chaired by our Director of Budgeting and Internal Controls, draws representatives from all across campus (including faculty and staff, exempt and nonexempt), and is tasked with promoting safe work practices, protecting health, minimizing safety risks, and reducing any negative effects to the environment. We encourage employees to report every accident, however small, and to report any safety risks that they see. We are proud to have an extremely low workers compensation insurance mod ratio that reflects the safety of our campus and saves our institution money.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The college changed the way it reported FTE starting in 2008, which is why the 2007 baseline number is high compared to the reporting year number. We would score higher in this category if these FTE numbers had been calculated the same way.
