The District is a member of the Statewide Association of Community Colleges (SWACC),
a joint power authority (JPA) made up of community colleges that have joined together
for the purpose of pooling or self-funding property and liability coverage. The role
of District's Risk Management is to protect the assets of the District and to mitigate
adverse effects of accidental loss. It does so by identifying exposures, mitigating
losses and associated costs by integrating risk controls and safety. This results
in added value in supporting the District's focus on its goals and vision.
Resources
Prior to using off-campus facilities for special events, classes and seminars, the
owner of the facility often requests the District to supply them with a certificate
of insurance naming their organization or company as additional insured. The sponsoring
department may obtain the certificate of insurance by completing a Request for Coverage form. Please allow 3-5 business days for processing.
The District's Student Insurance Program provides coverage for injuries suffered by regularly enrolled students/athletes while
they participate in approved school activities, supervised by a District employee.
This program coverage includes club activities that have been approved by the District
and supervised by an employee authorized to perform this function. The coverage afforded
by this program is secondary to any coverage the student/athlete may already have.
If they have no medical coverage, this program becomes the primary carrier for accidental
injuries sustained during covered school activities.
The District is firmly committed to maintaining a safe and healthful working environment
for all District employees. As part of this commitment, the District has established,
implemented and maintains an Injury and Illness Prevention Program, as required under California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3202. The IIPP
specifies responsibilities and general procedures to protect employees and reduce
accidents and injuries. It consists of the following elements: Responsibilities,
Communication, Compliance, Hazard Identification, Accident Investigation, Hazard Correction,
Training and Documentation.
Contact Human Resource Specialist, Quyen Lenshoek, for information and/or reporting Worker's Compensation Injuries.
Click on the “Forms” tab to find the incident/injury report. Injured workers shall
be directed to the nearest US Healthworks or Alliance Clinic for treatment. Please
work with Quyen and/or your immediate supervisor for assistance.
