The Missouri Self Insured Trust Safety Program Initial Certification Procedures provide guidelines for employers to ensure they are compliant with the safety and health regulations of the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLOR). The procedures include the following types of certification: • Self-Insured Trust: Employers who are self-insured can become certified by submitting a completed application along with proof of financial responsibility and a safety plan. • Group Self-Insurance Trust: Employers who are part of a group self-insurance trust can become certified by submitting a completed application along with the trust’s safety plan and a letter of commitment from the trust’s administrator. • Voluntary Self-Insurance Trust: Employers who are part of a voluntary self-insurance trust can become certified by submitting a completed application along with the trust’s safety plan and a letter of commitment from the trust’s administrator. • Certified Self-Insurance Trust: Employers who are part of a certified self-insurance trust can become certified by submitting a completed application along with the trust’s safety plan and a certificate of approval from the DOLOR. Upon receiving the completed application and documents, the DOLOR will review the information and approve or deny certification. If approved, the employer will receive a Certificate of Compliance from the DOLOR, which must be kept on file and renewed annually. Employers must also provide proof of financial responsibility and a safety plan in order to maintain their certification.
