About Risk Management 

The Office of Risk Management is responsible for the administration of all property, general liability, auto liability and worker’s compensation claims filed against the parish. Risk Management continually identifies and evaluates loss exposures that include financial applications of resources to avoid, prevent and/or minimize losses at the lowest possible cost; oversees a portfolio of insurance policies designed to protect St. Charles Parish property and operations; recommends and reviews insurance requirements to ensure proper coverage; and oversees third party administrators’ handling of liability claims against St. Charles Parish. The Office of Risk Management is a cost-effective and efficient operation by optimizing and saving St. Charles Parish tax-payer dollars as it relates to risk exposures and claims against the Parish, and the office responds to claims 24/7, 365 days a year. 

Risk Management facilitates safety as each department's management is responsible for safety. The office assists in coordinating safety programs designed to prevent accidents and injuries; implementing innovative strategies to reduce the number and severity of accidents; and facilitating employee safety training.
