Office of Risk Management

The Division of Risk Management is primarily responsible for developing and coordinating Occupational Health & Safety services by administering the following programs in accordance with State and Federal Agencies requirements. The Division manages Workers’ Compensation claims from the initial processing through resolution. We also implement risk mitigation strategies enterprise-wide. We manage the City of Cleveland’s exposure to accidental losses to protect the City’s assets and assure operational continuity for its employees and citizens. This includes assisting all departments and divisions in the preparing, writing and implementation of annually adjusted Continuity of Operations Plans.

The Division of Risk Management’s key functions are to provide training on safe work practices and monitor for rules and regulation compliance across all City departments.

Achievements and Recognition:

The Division of Risk Management has recorded historic city lows in the number of claims allowed by the Ohio BWC, 14 of the last 17 years including the last three.
