Safety & Loss Control

The KACo Safety & Loss Control Department is committed to assisting all members of the KACo All Lines Fund (KALF) and the KACo Workers Compensation Fund in partnering efforts to identify, address, and correct adverse loss exposures to personal injuries, liability exposures and property losses.

The knowledge and expertise necessary to identify and control risks are not normally part of a county government's (or political subdivision of a county government's) core ability.  KACo, KALF and the KACo Workers Compensation Fund provide a reliable and efficient alternative to in-house resources for safety and loss control management.  The services offered through the Safety & Loss Control program were created to make communities safer, and save counties money by limiting losses and lowering premium dollars.

In addition, KACo provides an online sample administrative code, including a detailed Personnel Chapter that can be utilized when reviewing or amending your existing Administrative Code or Employee Handbook.  KACo has also developed a best practices policies and procedures manual for our Sheriff's Offices/County Police Departments and Detention Centers; this can aid in protecting the public, increasing institutional safety, and providing a legal standard of care.  KACo believes these manuals are a strong asset in a member's effort to combat property, general liability and workers compensation claims.
