Risk Management
The SCA's risk management objective is to advise and assist State authorities on measures to prevent the occurrence, or to reduce the incidence, of acts or omissions that may give rise to claims. The risk management process includes the following:
- Identifying
litigation risks with a particular attention to high risk activities
and possible mass action claims. The identification of risks will be
conducted through analysis of claims' data, reviews of occupational
risks, safety audits and site inspections.
- Assessing
the adequacy of measures already in place to counter such risks including
the extent to which each authority fulfils its common law and statutory
duties.
- Providing
risk advice and assistance, including training, so as to ensure that
State authorities are fully aware of the measures necessary to address
any risks highlighted by their claims' records and by any risk evaluations
or audits.
