Risk Management Services

CIRMA Is More Than an Insurer

CIRMA acts as a risk partner to our members, working with you to develop a risk management program tailored to your organization. CIRMA provides professional risk management consulting, training, and tools so that our members can create a safer, more efficient workplace. CIRMA's approach is not prescriptive or restrictive; instead, we work with our members, coaching and providing them the tools and resources they need to help them make their organization's goals possible--the safest possible way.

On-site Consulting

As part of the CIRMA service team, a CIRMA risk management consultant will work with you to develop and implement a comprehensive risk management program that addresses your specific safety concerns. Your consultant will help you develop a risk management action plan that is data-driven to target loss drivers and help embed best practices into your organization. Our sophisticated analytics spot trends and provide powerful insight into the root causes of loss.

CIRMA Risk Management Consultants will review your risk management programs and make recommendations regarding coverage and risk transfer mechanisms, safety, administration, and risk control techniques. They will work with your entity to help you understand your exposures and loss history, then work with you to formulate a risk management plan to improve safety, lowering losses and reduce your total cost of risk.

Onsite consulting services include:

  • Attending safety committee meetings.

  • Providing customized training and education.

  • Conducting facility assessments.

  • Helping you develop and implement a comprehensive risk management action plan that addresses your unique liability exposures and safety concerns.

  • Reviewing loss history and trends, contained in CIRMA's unique Stewardship reports, with senior and operational managers.

Stewardship Reports

CIRMA provides Stewardship Reports to our Workers' Compensation members. These reports provide municipal and school leadership with the qualitative and quantitative information they need to develop and monitor their risk management action plans.

Each report contains:

  • An analysis of past and current loss trends.

  • The cause and cost drivers of losses by accident, injury, and department.

  • A review and evaluation of current risk management initiatives.

  • Recommendations for risk management action plans and initiatives to prevent accidents and improve the management of injuries.

  • Benchmarks for monitoring progress.

Data-Driven Action Plans

CIRMA helps municipal and school leaders develop a consensus about their tolerance of risk; then we provide valuable context, expertise, and education to help you manage that risk. Context is provided through analysis of trends, both the member's individual loss history and analysis of changes in the larger legal and social environment. CIRMA's analytical systems provides our members a far richer, more detailed understanding of their operations and risk than traditional system that concentrate on claims history. CIRMA's analytical capabilities provide our members a view - as broad or sharply focused as needed, at the organization, department, location or individual employee level. CIRMA's sophisticated analytical systems provide real-time tracking, analysis, and reporting capabilities for our members, enabling them to monitor and measure their risk management action plan.

CIRMA Training Resources

Training & Education Programs

CIRMA has created a nationally recognized education and training program, delivered by our risk consultants and professional associates, to provide safety and risk management training to our members and their employees.

Instructor-led Training Programs
CIRMA provides classroom training at regional sessions, which are open to all members. A list of current regional training programs is found on our Training & Education page. CIRMA also provides onsite, "Member-Only" training programs, which can be used to train an entire department or selected staff at one time on a specific topic. Please contact your Risk Management Consultant to arrange a program.

Publications

CIRMA's Regional and Member-only training programs are complemented by our Training Kits, Best Practices Guides, whitepapers, and other resources. The Best Practice Guides are available for order online at the Learning Media Library. These resources are free to CIRMA Members. The whitepapers and our Lessons Learned series may be downloaded from our Publications page.

E-Learning Center

CIRMA's E-Learning Center makes employee training and education easily accessible at any time, from any internet-connected computer. No travel. No  schedule conflicts. And there is no cost to CIRMA members! Our E-Learning courses are tailored to the municipal and public school work environment. The course instruction combines text, audio, graphics, and video to accommodate a variety of learning styles. Download out flyer for more information. Visit our E-Learning Center Course Catalog for descriptions of the topics. Contact Martin Connelly, Risk Management Training & Education Coordinator, to register.

Tail Gate and Roll Call Topics

CIRMA's Tail Gate Topics contains 80-plus safety and risk management training topics that are written specifically for municipal operations. Each of the topics will take about ten minutes to cover in a group discussion. Some stress basic awareness, common sense, and professionalism. Others are a review of important safety practices and guidelines. We recommend that supervisors and managers use the topics proactively in weekly "Tail Gate Safety" discussions, as refresher training when issues arise, or when new responsibilities are assigned.

CIRMA's Roll Call Topics are similar in format to our Tail Gate Topics, but discuss issues unique to Law Enforcement agencies. Download copies from our Publications page.
