Safety / Public Entities

Our public entity specialists understand the unique features associated with this customer group.

Our consultants approach service knowing there are limitations to the tax-based financial resources available in a given year and that major initiatives requiring significant capital outlays often must be phased in over time – or implemented in the subsequent year's budget. As a result, we focus on assisting in the budgetary planning process, helping to identify and prioritize key operational exposures that could lead to major financial losses if not properly controlled. We can project what loss costs can be expected, provide best practice solutions and alternatives for management consideration and estimate costs to implement effective loss control solutions. Risk reduction strategies for interim control of exposures with significant loss potential are also provided, as well as recommendations for helping to prevent losses with the potential for high frequency but low severity.

We understand public entity customers have unique operational exposures and organizational structures – from several decentralized departments that operate independently to a strong, centralized management team for the whole public entity. Our risk engineers are flexible and excel in providing value-added service for either type of organization. In either case, our goal is to form partnerships with our public entity customers to eliminate and/or minimize the causes of loss. We believe your business expertise, combined with our experience in controlling human and financial losses, will result in an effective risk management team.
