Safety - General Information
The Loss Control section of Risk Management
develops, implements and monitors a comprehensive
safety program for Pinellas County Government.
The main focus is safety awareness and prevention;
therefore, Loss Control addresses workplace
health and safety issues, offers construction
safety inspections and training, continually
monitors and develops environmental and occupational
health training, and follows through with fire
prevention and safety inspections and training,
in accordance with state and federal regulation.
Through safety awareness and loss prevention
we are able to ensure the continued success
and growth of Pinellas County for all its’
citizens.
Risk Management is responsible for administering
the following programs:
· Chemical
Management
· County Driver’s License
·
County Fire Safety & Prevention
· Construction technical assistance
· Construction Safety
· Drivers Training
· Drug and Alcohol Testing for Commercial Driver’s
Licenses
· General Safety
· Life Safety Training (CPR, AED, First Aid)
· Occupational Safety
Loss control is also consulted on many occasions
for other departments not under the Board of
County Commissioners. These departments include
the various Appointing Authorities within Pinellas
County Government. This service may involve
contracting issues, public safety, environmental
concerns, speculative risks and development
and investigation of case files in the event
of litigation.
Overall, Loss Control has continued to strive
for a safe working and living environment within
Pinellas County. Through constant vigilance,
continuing education, and interaction with
other departments we are working toward providing
the safest environment possible for Pinellas
County Government employees and its’ citizens.
