The Risk Management Dashboard & Reporting System (Dashboard) is a tool used by Los Angeles County Public Works to raise risk awareness, reduce costs, and promote a proactive approach to risk management. The Dashboard uses ingenuity and a variety of technologies (web interface, visual charts and reports, GIS, etc.) to bring together data from disparate sources in a telling picture of departmental risk. It enables managers, to: • Analyze trends in general liability, Workers’ Compensation and auto liability claims and litigation. • Drill down into causes, costs, geographic concentration, etc. • Develop, assign, and track completion of corrective action plans to improve operations and avoid future claims and litigation. Since its implementation in June 2010, the Dashboard has enhanced information sharing on risk exposure, and encouraged the timely implementation of control measures to avoid or decrease risk.
