Risk Management

 
Purpose
 
 
The Risk Management Department is responsible for managing uncertainty of exposures that affect the Inglewood Unified School District. We are committed to serving the District, its employees, students, parents, and community members to promote a safe work and learning environment.  
 
  
          
 
Property & Liability
 
CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE (COI)
 
Certificates of insurance (COIs) are documents containing all the essential details of an insurance policy in an easily digestible, standardized format. A COI is intended to prove a policy’s status, provide quick access to its coverage details, reduce risk exposure, and protect against third-party liability. Third Parties should utilize the below online forms to request or submit a Certificate of Insurance to the Inglewood Unified School District. A copy of the Contract, Agreement, or Use Permit is required for requests and appreciated for submissions.

INDUSTRIAL INJURIES

Safety Programs
 
INJURY AND ILLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAM (IIPP)
 
In California every employer has a legal obligation to provide and maintain a safe and healthful workplace for employees, according to the California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973. As of 1991, a written, effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) is required for every California employer.  An IIPP is a proactive process to help employers find and fix workplace hazards before employees are hurt. 
 
SAFETY COMMITTEE
 
The Inglewood Unified School District Safety Committee brings staff members and management together to create a culture of safety within the organization.  The committee reviews health, safety, sanitation, and working conditions.
