In recent years, attention has been focused on safety in the workplace. Working with the Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) has produced numerous enhancements in the worker safety in the City of Paducah. In fiscal year 2005, a Risk Manager was hired in order to more aggressively address risk issues. The City has selected various insurance coverage to mitigate potential risk, with premiums/deductibles remaining flat at approximately $1.2 million for both fiscal years 2006 and 2007 for general liability, public officials liability, auto, law enforcement and workers compensation.
