Risk Management

Fred C. Church works hard to stay on top of industry risks and best practices.

Collaborating with senior leadership and boards of directors to help our clients identify, assess, and develop plans to mitigate strategic, financial, operational, organizational, and reputational risk is one of the many approaches that sets Fred C. Church apart from our competition.

Our process doesn’t stop there. We also offer:

  • Loss Prevention Service Plans. To help your safety initiatives gain momentum, Fred C. Church can work with you to develop service plans with our insurance carrier partners. Rather than a boilerplate template, your plan can be customized to align with your goals and be specific to your exposures.

  • Risk Evaluations and Assessments. Our risk management consultants can work with your organization to evaluate your loss prevention programs, policies, and procedures. The assessment is divided into three categories:

    1. Regulatory Compliance: OSHA, DOT, EPA, and NFPA.
    2. Overall Protection: safety programs, safety committees, and safety culture.
    3. Loss Source Potential: exposures and controls, accident and incident investigation procedures, loss analysis, and claims management.
  • Risk Management Forums. At Fred C. Church, we believe knowledge is power, which is why we regularly invite our clients to risk management forums. These discussions cover timely, relevant topics presented by various industry professionals or a member of the Fred C. Church team.
