The Risk Management program was created to protect the people and the assets of Pend Oreille County against issues of risk cost-effectively and efficiently.
Risk Management Statement
The County Commissioners recognize the need to manage public funds wisely. The intent of this policy is to proactively preserve and protect the assets of Pend Oreille County from losses while conducting County operations most economically and efficiently. Further, to provide a safe, secure, and healthful working environment for County employees.
The risk management program must function within the financial abilities of the County consistent with related legal requirements. This policy applies to all risks of accidental loss, such as fire, liability, theft, property damage, malpractice, illness, and injury, both direct and indirect, as relates to all County employees including elected officials and documented volunteers.
The success of our risk, claims, and safety management program is impacted by the sincere, constant, and cooperative effort at all levels of management and the participation of all county elected and appointed officials, employees, and documented volunteers to fully support the risk reduction efforts associated with this critical program.
