Workers' Compensation
Risk Management ensures financial stability through appropriate identification, assessment, monitoring and mitigation of potential exposures to County assets. Risk Management promotes employee and public safety through education, training and compliance.
Risk Management works collaboratively with our internal and external customers on complex issues to prevent outcomes that may adversely impact individual departments operations. Utilizing a strategy of planning, intervention, retention and commercial insurance, we plan for unfavorable outcomes, and we love it when we are wrong.
