The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation is a state agency within the insurance sector that administers workers’ compensation coverage for employers in Ohio. The state's workers’ compensation system operates as a monopolistic market, with BWC providing coverage for all state fund employers. Its primary function is to manage and deliver workers’ compensation protections for Ohio workplaces, covering both public and private sector employers across the state. In December 2021, the bureau appointed Carolyn Mangas as deputy director of strategy and legislative affairs. It has engaged in external partnerships to advance safety and compliance, and has implemented premium payment options in the past, such as the second deferral option introduced in 2020.
