Risk Management
Colorado School of Mines participates in the Colorado State Risk Management (SRM) Program and is bound by its rules and regulations. Our coverage includes campus buildings, equipment, and some university-owned vehicles. The Office of Human Resources is responsible for facilitating the state's liability, worker's compensation and property loss/damage processes.

Certificates of Insurance
Occasionally Mines will need to provide to another party evidence of insurance coverages for liability, property, workers' compensation or other specifically identified insurance. Certificates of Insurance (COI) must be issued by the insurance carrier (State of Colorado). Issuance of certificates requires specific information regarding the event, function, provision of services, or use of facility for which the certificate is to be issued. All requests for a COI must be submitted in writing to the Office of Human Resources by a Mines faculty or staff member needing the certificate. All certificates are issued specific to the intended purpose.
To request a Certificate of Insurance send e-mail to Veronica.Graves@is.mines.edu with the following information:
1. Name and contact information (phone, address, e-mail) of requestor
2. Reason for the request (i.e. use of JeffCo open space for geology field session)
3. Dates that the certificate needs to encompass
