View the Risk Management Territory Map

The purpose of risk management is to assist in the identification of potential and/or existing liability and property exposures that may exist within a Public Entity’s operations. As such, the following are services conducted by the Hylant Administrative Services Risk Management Department:

• Risk Management Profile - A Risk management representative will identify existing and/or potential liability and property exposures by collecting information through a questionnaire pertaining to the operations of a Public Entity.
• Recommendations - Recommendations will be made from the information gathered during the profile to assist in reducing identified areas of liability and property exposures.
• Technical Assistance - On-site visits to discuss problem areas, specific concerns, and to assist in the development of written policies and procedures to a Public Entity’s operations.
• Policy and Procedure Review - The Risk Management Department will review established policy and procedure manuals and offer written opinions from the review.
• Law Enforcement and Fire / EMS Committees - The committees consist of department personnel from current Ohio Plan members to assist in addressing, developing and reviewing policies and procedures and liability concerns related to specific operations.
• Resource Material - The Risk Management Department has a large volume of resource materials available for review and assistance, including risk control guidelines, sample manuals, and model policies and procedures for Public Entity operations. In addition, the Risk Management Department has a video library available to members that includes but is not limited to videos on safety, law enforcement training and the essentials of firefighting.
