[08 SEP 98] COVENTRY CITY COUNCIL PRESS RELEASE
Risk Awareness Week -
For City Council Employees

The City Council's Risk Management Team will be organising a unique Risk Awareness Week for all Council employees from the 2 - 6 November 1998. The purpose of the week is to highlight, to all staff, the need for ownership of and responsibility for their own risks, as well as those that could threaten the organisation.

It will be opened in St Mary's Hall on the first day with an address by Diana Lamplugh, from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, on "Personal Safety". Other subjects will cover work hazards, crime and fire prevention, and defensive driving.

Councillor Bob Waugh, member of the finance policy team, said:

"This is another good initiative from a group of caring employees determined to protect the council's human and physical resources from the risks that face all of us, be it at work, at home or at play.

"By reducing the risk of injury or damage - more resources will be available to enable the council to achieve its objectives for the city and prove to local taxpayers that we do mean business and are serious about value for money."

The Risk Management Team of the city council are very aware that in the public and private sector, unidentified risks tend to be unmanaged. The week's programme is being co-ordinated to emphasise the importance of controlling all risks that could affect the council's ability to achieve its objectives, in the knowledge that success will minimise costs and strengthen the council's value-for-money strategies which will benefit Coventry and its citizens.
