Essentials of Public Entity Loss Control Series
Loss control is an essential step in the risk management process.
This 5-part webinar series is designed to walk the practitioner through the process from the philosophy behind the loss control effort to developing, implementing and improving your program.
LC101: LOSS CONTROL MISSION & PHILOSOPHY
Speaker: Michael Fann, ARM-P, MBA, Director of Loss Control, Public Entity Partners
There’s no question that an effective loss control effort is an essential step in the risk management process. All too often, the risk manager attempts to launch loss control & safety programs before substantially defining the “why”… in other words, knowing the mission of the effort, and fully understanding the business philosophy behind that mission. This session is the first of 5 essential loss control training topics/webinars and highlights the need to “get your thinking right” and then establish your program. This webinar examines the need to build a framework for success and then identifying the people that can help accomplish the mission. You will learn how to prioritize your efforts and work to identify root causes of accidents.
LC102: IDENTIFY & ANALYZE EXPOSURE TO LOSS
Speaker: Don Leonard, National Director – Public Sector Risk, Travelers
Establishing an effective approach to identification and analysis of your entity’s exposure to loss is an important step in developing or improving your loss control program. This webinar is the second of five essential loss control training topics/webinars, and will assist you in organizing your approach to analyzing both loss exposures and program controls that exist in your entity. Cities, counties and most public organizations are involved in, and responsible for, widely diverse operations. As a result, the task of analyzing exposures ranging from law enforcement and first responders, to recreation and social services, can oftentimes feel overwhelming. This webinar discusses a framework and system for organizing your approach and for simplifying your analysis.
LC103: EXAMINE & SELECT YOUR LOSS CONTROL ALTERNATIVES
Speaker: Amy Larson, Esq., Risk & Litigation Manager, City of Bloomington, MN
Once you have identified your entity’s exposures to loss, the next step in the process is to examine and select the loss control alternative that will meet your needs and reduce the entity’s risk of loss. This session is the third of five essential loss control training topics/webinars and will use real-life examples to walk through the examination and selection process of available loss control alternatives.
LC104: IMPLEMENT YOUR SELECTED LOSS CONTROL TECHNIQUE
Speakers: Amy Larson, Esq., Risk & Litigation Manager, City of Bloomington, MN
Michael Fann, ARM-P, MBA, Director of Loss Control, Public Entity Partners
The loss control alternatives to help reduce your entity’s risk exposure have been chosen. Now what? This session is the fourth of five essential loss control training topics/webinars and will continue to use the prior real-life examples and the selection process from LC 103 and discuss how to implement the loss control alternatives to effectively reduce the entity’s risk exposures. Implementation will include developing a culture of safety and safety committee involvement as well as education and training ideas.
LC105: MONITOR & IMPROVE YOUR LOSS CONTROL RESULTS
Speaker: Jack Aspen, Vice President – Risk Control Services, PMA Companies
The fifth and final webinar of the series begins with strategies on setting practical risk management goals. The session then explores the role of data analytics and offers ideas and suggestions for public entities new to analysis to those using advanced tools and benchmarking. We know that what gets measured gets done, but the trick is to create easy to read and efficient scorecards that report on progress at predetermined milestones. Along the way, it is important to discern the impact of loss control actions on actual loss performance. The webinar concludes with tactics to evaluate results against the plan and how to make adjustments along the way, including celebrating your success.
