Safety/Risk Management

Mission Statement

The primary function of the Safety & Risk Management Department is to develop and implement safety programs and to assure that the liability risks of the City are favorably managed. The safety program includes policy development, employee training, work site inspections, maintaining OSHA standards and record keeping requirements. Damage to City property and employee accidents and injuries are reported to this Department for investigation, corrective action and the compilation of information for record keeping purposes.

Because the City is a self-insured entity, this Department administers the general liability, auto liability and the workers compensation programs. This includes accident and damage investigation, claims administration, securing excess coverage, and recovery of losses when appropriate. Property insurance is acquired and managed through this Department.
