Risk factors...hazards and exposure...risk controls. These items may sound similar, but each one must be taken into account in order to reduce liability for your city or county program, and anyone who supervises employees and programs, from public works departments to police departments to municipal courts and more, must consider these factors.

The Sheshunoff® Managing Risk in Local Government manual and CD are designed to help users meet their responsibilities to reduce and eliminate risk in the workplace.

The manual is a "how to" guide designed just for government officials. Our expert author takes you through all the steps, and gives you the checklists, sample policies, models, and charts you'll need to implement better risk management. And the full text of the manual and all of the tools are on the CD so you can search for topics by key word, export the charts and checklists to Word® for easy customization, and even carry the information you need in your laptop PC for use off-site. Reduce potential lawsuits.
