Loss Control Programs Design

Often the loss control or safety function reports to the risk manager. In Mr. Underdown's experience, this is a good fit from a management point of view, as the risk management function interfaces with loss control function in many ways.  It is important to position the loss control function as part of the operational management team so the function is not regarded as the corporate policeman.

Another design element for an effective loss control program is to use any and all incentives appropriate for the specific target employee group. The incentives will vary considerably depending on the employee group.
