Loss Control and Risk Management

The LCD will be available to attend Safety Committee meetings for the purpose of reviewing incident reports, facility inspection reports, and developing new policies and procedures which will address the specific needs of the Safety Program.

The LCD will work closely with the employee assigned the responsibility for employee safety. Loss trends are analyzed and reported to inform senior management of where the losses are occurring. Worksite and department safety audits are conducted for the purpose of identifying risk exposures. Employee safety training will be scheduled to address these risk exposures.

Accident investigators should be appointed to investigate accidents occurring within their departments to determine the cause(s) and to recommend solutions to prevent recurrence. The LCD can assist with developing individualized accident investigation report forms. Additionally, the LCD will advise or help create an elected Accident Investigation Committee to review losses and determine culpability.

OSHA Standards are considered minimum safety guidelines. The LCD can provide written program guidelines and implementation training for OSHA standards that are relevant to private industry.
