What is Risk Management? Risk management is a process that identifies potential risk and implements strategies to deal with it. Risk management establishes what risks exist, measures their severity, and determines strategies to eliminate, reduce, or transfer these risks.

The process is especially important for faith and care organizations that deal with risk every day.

Places of Worship face the following types of risk:

• Large numbers of people attend worship services on a regular basis, and risk injury such as tripping or falling
• Services such as daycare and counseling, in which children and other individuals are entrusted to care
• Can be targets for vandalism, theft and arson
• Unforeseen or unavoidable losses can happen at any time.

At Ecclesiastical Insurance, we are committed to helping our customers manage risk. With some thought and planning, a place of worship can be a safe and secure environment.
