Community Support
RMCOEH benefits tremendously from the wisdom and support of its Advisory Board that includes business, labor, insurance, government, trade organization, and community leaders who share RMCOEH's dedication to improving the safety and health of workers.
Community and legislative support led to passage of Utah Senate Bill 159 in 2005 that allows self-insured employers and workers' compensation insurance carriers to voluntarily donate 0.1% of their workers' compensation premium taxes in exchange for a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.
Subsequent legislation statutorily established RMCOEH as an Occupational Health Center in 2007 (SB234) and established the Eddie Mayne Funds (SB15, 2009 GS) that provide additional support for RMCOEH's educational programs, research, and community outreach.
