Managed risk is a concerted effort by all shareholding
parties, including but not limited to, insureds, brokers,
insurance carriers, and Irwin Siegel Agency. It is imperative
to take a team approach when developing a loss control plan.
Risk that is not managed results in personal injury to staff
and consumers, as well as loss of property.
Human service provider organizations are unique in and
of themselves. The environment in which they exist focuses
on this distinctiveness as it presents dynamic challenges
to doing business. The key to successfully managing safety
lies in the understanding of organizational culture and
its surrounding environment. A targeted approach to controlling
losses includes:
1. Identifying historical and potential risks (auto,
fund-raising events, and self-determination)
2. Evaluation of options
3. Realization that “risk avoidance” is often
not a viable alternative
4. Implementation of a multi-faceted program that addresses
everything from training resources to organizational culture
5. Monitoring organizational losses.
6. Analysis of incidents and organizational behavior to
ascertain necessary enhancements.
7. Dedication to a comprehensive loss control program,
focused on key areas that have demonstrated high loss
potential.

support network,” can provide our insureds with risk

Our Risk Management Department directly services our customers.
Its members are responsible for the implementation of support
plans, including the creation and completion of individualized
loss control programs for our accounts.
Our Risk Management Department and Claims Division work
closely together in order to review exposures and loss histories
in an effort to identify claim trends and frequencies. They
then respond to identified risk areas with resources and
services in that can offer our customers the opportunity
to mitigate the potential for loss. This interaction yields
a cohesive solution-based approach for each of our customers
as well as for the entire field.
