Risk Management
Mission
To protect the assets of Frederick County from unnecessary and controllable losses by providing a safe workplace for our employees and eliminating hazards to the public on county property. The primary goal of Risk Management is to reduce losses and to control the cost of those which do occur. When identified, exposures are addressed through loss control techniques, training and education, and transfer of risk.
We accomplish our mission by:
- Responding to citizen reports of accidents or incidents that occur on county property or involve county employees or equipment.
- Procuring insurance to cover county projects and ensuring vendors the county works with have adequate coverage.
- Training employees in all aspects of workplace safety.
- Handling employee workers' compensation claims.
Have an accident or incident to report?
To report an accident or incident to Risk Management for investigation, fill out and submit the Citizen Injury or Property Damage Report. This form pertains to injury and property damage issues.

- How does the Citizen Injury or Property Damage Report differ from FCG FixIt?
-
The Citizen Injury or Property Damage Report is a way for citizens to report accidents or incidents that occur on county property, involve a county employee or county operations and result in citizen bodily injury or property damage.
FCG FixIt is an app citizens can use to report repair work that needs to be done to bridges, roads, playgrounds, or other county-maintained property - things that need to be fixed or corrected, not necessarily the result of an accident or incident.
For HIPAA complaints, please use the HIPAA Privacy Complaint Form if the incident involves disclosure of personal information by a county employee.
