Risk Management

Protecting People, Property, and Public Resources

The City of Tracy’s Risk Management Division is dedicated to promoting a safe, healthy, and resilient organization. We work proactively to reduce risks, prevent injuries, and protect City assets. Through strong partnerships with City departments, employees, and the community, we support a workplace where safety and responsible stewardship are part of everyday operations.

What We Do

Liability & Claims Management

We oversee the investigation, evaluation, and resolution of liability claims involving City operations, property, or employees. Our team works closely with departments, legal counsel, and insurance partners to ensure timely, fair, and compliant claims handling.

Workers’ Compensation

We manage workers’ compensation claims and support injured employees through the recovery and return‑to‑work process. Our goal is to ensure employees receive appropriate care while helping departments maintain safe and productive operations.

Insurance & Risk Transfer

We coordinate the City’s insurance programs, including general liability, property, auto, and specialty coverages. We also review contracts, permits, and special events to ensure appropriate insurance and indemnification requirements are in place.

Safety

We partner with departments to identify hazards, implement corrective actions, and promote safe work practices. This includes safety training, workplace inspections, accident prevention programs, and compliance with Cal/OSHA regulations.

Training & Education

We provide training on workplace safety, ergonomics, defensive driving, hazard communication, and other risk‑related topics. Our goal is to empower employees with the knowledge and tools they need to work safely and confidently.
