Who should you contact to apply for a Certificate of Consent to Self-Insurance?

• A. The manager of Self-Insurance plans
• B. The director of Industrial Relations
• C. The director of the Division of Worker's Compensation
• D. The director of Industrial Accidents

Answer: (B)

To apply for a Certificate of Consent to Self-Insurance, the appropriate contact is the director of Industrial Relations. This position typically oversees labor laws and regulations, including the administration of self-insurance programs. The director of Industrial Relations ensures compliance with the necessary requirements and guidelines needed for an organization to legitimately operate under a self-insured model.

While the other roles may play significant parts in the broader context of workers' compensation and industrial accidents, they do not specifically handle the application process for a Certificate of Consent to Self-Insurance. The manager of Self-Insurance plans may deal with the administration of a self-insurance program but may not have the authority to grant the consent. The director of the Division of Worker's Compensation and the director of Industrial Accidents are also focused on broader regulatory aspects and may not be the designated contact for this specific application process. Thus, reaching out to the director of Industrial Relations is the correct and most effective course of action for obtaining the necessary certification.
