Summary of Accident Investigation: Finding Root Causes, Not Fault

This training offers a practical approach to investigating workplace accidents and near misses, emphasizing prevention of recurrence rather than assigning blame. Participants will learn to respond to an incident, secure and document the scene, collect evidence, interview witnesses, and distinguish immediate causes from contributing factors and root causes. Through realistic examples and a group exercise, participants will apply the 5 Whys method, identify system weaknesses, and develop corrective actions that address an incident's true causes. The training also emphasizes selecting stronger hazard controls, assigning clear responsibilities and deadlines, and following up to verify that corrective actions are working.

Cyber Security Training

Make sure your employees are educated and aware about the latest cyber security. ​

Every day, hackers deploy phishing schemes, ransomware attacks and other cyber attacks on computer systems - is your staff trained to identify potential threats and do you have the proper protections in place? 
​

As part of the League's Property & Casualty Trust insurance coverage, we encourage member cities and towns and their employees to complete cyber liability education and training. We feel that this training is so important, that we have partnered with E-Risk Hub ​​to offer pool members FREE access to online training. ​

Defensive Drivers Training

Defensive driving training is crucial for local government organizations with employees who drive as part of their job. Training provides drivers with the skills to handle unexpected road conditions, reduces the likelihood of accidents, and minimizes potential liabilities for the municipality.

Our Risk Control consultants are available to conduct on-site training to assist our members with the needed skills to reduce risk and improve safety for our employees and citizens.
