Risk Management and Safety

Our mission is to assist our subscribers in providing a safe environment for students, staff and visitors, and to assist in protecting our subscribers’ physical assets. We work with member districts on a daily basis to identify and manage risk vulnerabilities, and find ways to mitigate and control unique exposures and hazards.

The NYSIR Risk Management Department also strives to help subscribers reduce the cost of claims and litigation through risk-transfer strategies, such as the use of contractual transfers and insurance procurement agreements.

Those goals are accomplished through regular facility and operational evaluations; the development and presentation of workshops and regional seminars; the publication and dissemination of informative articles and educational materials; and risk management consultations with subscribers.
