Counties exist to provide services for their communities. As service providers, public entities are exposed to potential losses from various sources. If these risks are not properly managed, the entity may lose its ability to effectively meet its service obligations.
UCIP provides many risk management services to its members to help manage risk.
On-Site Surveys
One effective way to make an assessment of your county's risk exposures is to have a Risk Management Representative from UCIP conduct an on-site survey. During an on-site survey, the Representative can help discover potential sources of liability and safety deficiencies. UCIP can recommend cost-effective methods to prevent accidents, promote safety and reduce the overall exposure to accidental losses for your county.
Safety, Environmental and Industrial Hygiene Services
UCIP provides consultation services to its members to assist with health and safety issues for employees, citizens and the environment. Public entities are obligated to know and comply with Federal, State and local occupational and environmental laws. However, the number and complexity of these laws can catch public officials off guard. UCIP can assist your county with:
- Air Sampling
