RISK CONTROL POLICY STATEMENT
The safety and well-being of the residents and employees of the Housing
Authority of the County of Contra Costa are of the utmost importance. Risk
management procedures will be established and maintained to ensure that the
highest level of safety is provided for all.
It is the intention of the Housing Authority to provide safe and healthy living and
working conditions and to establish and insist upon safe practices at all times by
all residents and employees. Management considers no phase of operation or
administration as being of greater importance than accident prevention. It is the
policy of this Authority, therefore, to provide and maintain operating practices
which will safeguard all residents, visitors, employees and property, and result in
safe living/working conditions and efficient operations.
Risk control is an objective affecting all levels of the organization and its
activities. It is, therefore, a basic requirement that each supervisor make the
safety of residents, visitors and employees an integral part of his/her regular
management function. It is equally the duty of each resident and employee to
accept and follow established safety regulations and procedures.
