Training Manual for Human Service Risk Managers

摘要

The report is intended to help managers of social service and small transit systems reduce the risks of accidents, and to thereby help minimize their insurance and liability costs. The document begins with an examination of the legal and humanitarian obligations of a system transporting clients or special users. It then introduces a classification scheme for hazards or risks, and reviews the various risks inherent in providing transportation. It examines the role risk management programs can play in minimizing uncertainty, and avoiding public criticism. It also explores several alternative methods for dealing with risks and their applicability, along with their implications for the procurement of insurance. The report should be especially valuable to those involved in planning, operating, or insuring small systems.
