BOOK 78 <br />changes were incorporated to meet the operational needs of the user <br />departments/offices while maintaining the integrity of the loss <br />prevention and loss •control objectives of the self-insurance <br />program. To address some concerns, meetings were held with <br />Department Heads to clarify issues and attempt to reach meaningful <br />resolutions.
