Safety and Risk Management, a division of the City Attorney’s Office, is responsible for managing the City’s self-insurance fund and administering various safety programs. The department aims to reduce the human and financial impact of operational accidents.
An audit identified several areas for improvement. It suggested that the identification of safety risks could be enhanced by formalizing a facility inspection program and conducting more comprehensive reviews of job hazards. Additionally, it was noted that improvements in workers’ compensation claims, emergency planning, and employee engagement could strengthen safety programs.
The audit also pointed out that data could be better utilized to assess the effectiveness of safety programs and allocate resources more efficiently.
The department has acknowledged these findings and plans to implement the recommendations by November 2024.
