Loss Control & Safety Program

The  Loss Control & Safety Program was developed to help member cities and towns lower losses from employee injuries through effective safety program implementation.

Loss Control & Safety

The Arkansas Municipal League’s Loss Control & Safety Program was developed to help member cities and towns lower losses from employee injuries through effective safety program implementation. Preventing accidents is less costly than paying for them in lost employee work hours, medical claims, property damage and higher premiums for coverage.

The Loss Control portion of the program focuses on the reduction of the frequency and severity of loss, and includes safety audits, inspections and on-site consultation for Municipal Workers’ Comp and Municipal Vehicle & Property participants.

The Safety portion of the program offers techniques for continuous and proactive identification, analysis and evaluation of activities that lead to losses. The health and safety plan outlines the policies and procedures for municipal work environments, including detailed job hazard analyses, training timelines, department inspection forms and document retention recommendations. The emergency preparedness plan provides cities with information on how to be prepared for emergencies such as active-shooter scenarios, bomb threats, cyberterrorism, tornadoes, and chemical and biological threats.
