Member-Focused Risk Management Assistance <br />The money LMCIT uses to pay claims belongs to the cities themselves - and every loss that is <br />risks and reduce losses. LMCIT has implemented a number of initiatives to help cities in this <br />endeavor: <br /> <br />Training and Workshops <br />LMCIT offers general and customized training on land use, and for special job classes such as <br />peace officers. Training is meant to deliver timely and important information to help cities mitigate <br />risks. <br /> <br /> Land Use. LMCIT's land use attorneys provide a range of training services to assist cities with <br />the unique concerns involved in land use decision making. <br /> <br /> Police Accredited TRaining OnLine (PATROL). This web-based learning tool for Minnesota <br />law enforcement officers provides extensive web-based courses on current legal issues, and <br />research on important developments affecting Minnesota law enforcement. <br /> <br /> Safety Assistance Programs. Minnesota cities have a range of state and federal OSHA <br />mandates with which they must comply. LMCIT has developed the Regional Safety Groups <br />initiative, which provides an array of subsidized services to participating cities, including <br />hands-on and web-based safety training, safety audits, and one-on-one consulting. Cities <br />enrolled in this program also have access to FirstNet Learning, a web-based training program <br />endorsed by the National Safety Council. The program includes written information, questions <br />and answers, scoring, and a supervisory tool to track your employees' progress. <br /> <br /> Safety & Loss Control Workshops. Each Spring, LMCIT holds a series of one-day workshops <br />at locations throughout the state. These sessions focus on providing practical information for <br />cities to help avoid losses and reduce the costs of losses that may occur. Several tracks are <br />offered for various staff, including public works, fire, peace officers, administration, elected <br />officials, and parks and recreation. These workshops are inexpensive and registration fees <br />include informational materials from all the sessions. <br /> <br /> Specialized Loss Control Workshops. Half-day workshops are offered at various locations <br />annually in the Fall on topics such as confined space entry; street, snow-plowing, and sewer <br />maintenance policies; trenching; and chainsaw usage. Depending upon the topic, participants <br />will participate in hands-on simulations, learn about OSHA standards and requirements, and <br />receive sample policies and models, and more. <br /> <br />Contract Review Service <br />LMCIT's Contract Review Service program is a free service that helps guard member cities against <br />common contract liability exposures by identifying defense and indemnification language that may <br />be problematic. Advice and recommendations on insurance coverage also are provided to help <br />ensure contracted activities fall within the scope of LMCIT coverages. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
