A Step Ahead^© Risk Management Review

As a leading indicator of risk management performance, it is critically important that organizations undergo an external review every three years.  Through a structured review of your organization’s policies and procedures, interviews with staff and a review of your in-the-field practices, Merrill & Associates will provide detailed, sustainable and practical suggestions to improve your risk management systems.

Working collaboratively to define the scope of the review, the first stage of the review will include a self assessment process.  Once complete, a comprehensive documentation review examining your handbooks, participant agreements and policies and procedures will ensue.  The third stage of the review will include a 1-2 day on-site visit to interview key program staff and observe facilities and programs in operation. Within two weeks of the on-site review, Merrill & Associates will develop a detailed report including areas of strength as well as prioritized, practical recommendations for improvement.  If desired, Merrill & Associates can present an executive summary to a safety committee, senior management staff or a Board of Directors.
