Risk Management

Our philosophy is that risk management must be an integral part of county culture — an intrinsic value rather than a priority that can shift on a daily basis. The county's goal is to provide a safe, secure and healthful environment for its employees, both on and off the job. We also work in partnership with county departments to preserve and protect the assets of the county from accidental loss at the most economical cost.

The management and control of the county's risk management program is a function of the Risk and Safety Division, within Human Resources. The county has elected to retain exposure to loss primarily through a program of self-insurance. The primary areas managed through this program are:

• liability
• workers' compensation
• vehicles and unemployment claims administration
• loss control services
• insurance
• contracts

Incidents Involving a County Vehicle, Property or Employee/Operation?

Incidents involving the County can be directly submitted to Risk Management. An Incident Report is used to document events that have caused property damage, bodily injury and/or liability. Community members who wish to file a claim against the County need to use the report located in the tile below. The report shall be completed promptly and as thoroughly as possible. We recommend including supporting documents, such as photos, quotes, etc., along with your report.

Examples:

• You were in an incident with a county vehicle.
