As top management, safety director, or the employee responsible for safety for your municipality, you are aware of the need for an effective on-going safety program. With our full line of Loss Control Services, we can help you implement a new safety program and/or improve your existing one. Realizing that claims costs are at an all-time high, and continuing to increase, and knowing that the availability of excess insurance is at a minimum, municipalities are constantly seeking ways to manage their cost. Today more than ever before, the bottom line is saving money. One solution, often overlooked, is the implementation of a workable safety program - and here’s where we can help. LOSS CONTROL EXPERTS Risk Management, Inc. can provide the expertise to evaluate safety programs and provide online training to meet your needs. Whatever your municipality’s needs, Risk Management, Inc. Loss Control Services can assist you in making safety an integral part of your big picture. HERE’S HOW WE WORK WITH YOU With our loss control services, we can help you implement a new safety program or improve your existing one. We provide on-site review of the effectiveness of the current safety program, including: • Safety/Health Training Programs • Motor Vehicle Safety Programs • Safety Awards Programs • Employee Safety Awareness • High Risk Areas (Such as Hot Pursuit Procedures) • Hiring Procedures Upon completion of our review, the findings are presented with workable recommendations, in the form of a summary report of findings. Customized Safety Guidelines for Your Operations Include: • Safety Plan • Safety Policy • Guidelines for Safety Awards Programs • Guidelines for Conducting Safety Inspection, Safety Meetings and Accident Investigations • Guidelines for Forming Safety Committees and New Employee Orientation • Development of Safety Training Aids RMI provides more than just indemnification – it provides outstanding legal representation and counseling that gives members peace of mind. It cannot be overemphasized that the attorneys retained by RMI are specialists in municipal defense. Defending Louisiana’s municipalities against a broad scope of liability is not part of RMI’s legal indemnity’s focus – it is their sole focus. This empowers municipalities with powerful tools to avoid liability in the first place. It also provides the benefits of specialized knowledge regarding immunities and defenses. Municipalities are tasked with managing so many aspects of our residents’ daily lives, so the potential for liability is unfortunately broad. You do not have to navigate municipal defense alone. We strongly suggest that you contact Risk Management, Inc. to discuss your liability needs and what they can do for you. Page 20 LMR | February 2019
