Risk Management Practitioner Certificate Program - Property and Liability Claims, Safety and Loss Control

Overview

PRISM has partnered with CJPIA and CPS HR to offer five (5) training courses which provide the building blocks to establish, develop and embed risk management as a business process in your public sector organization.  Click here for the description of all 5 courses.

All public entities will suffer a loss eventually. Insurance usually will pay for losses, but it does not prevent them. This workshop will help public entity practitioners plan for and mitigate losses to their organizations. Participants will learn how to identify and evaluate their agency’s particular loss exposures, while putting into place sound loss control measures. In addition, this workshop will increase participants’ effectiveness in managing first party property and third party liability claims. This includes gaining an understanding of the California Government Tort Claims Act and how to navigate the gap between the purpose of the law and its practical application.

Learning Objectives 

  • Demonstrate an understanding of First Party vs. Third Party Claims
  • Increase their understanding of Torts (Intentional Acts, Negligence, and Strict Liability)
  • Become familiar with the California’s Government Claims Act and its implications for Risk Management
