RISK SOLUTIONS

New and Updated Resources
Periodically, the Authority updates our resource library, including updates to existing and newly developed resources. Below are some recent updates.
New Resources
The Naloxone Policy and Procedures resource includes a policy template and program implementation procedures. A link to a training video provided by the California Department of Public Health is also included. When considering the adoption of a naloxone policy, it is strongly recommended to evaluate the applicability of other policies, plans, and training. Those employees deemed authorized to carry and administer naloxone may also benefit from CPR/First Aid/AED training. The Authority’s CPR/First Aid/AED training includes training on administering naloxone. This resource was made available to members in July.
The Body Armor Policy and Procedures resource includes a policy template and procedures addressing the possession and use of body armor for designated classifications, such as code enforcement officers and other non-peace officer employees with similar duties. This resource was made available to members in May.
Updated Resources
The Pepper Spray Policy and Procedures resource was reviewed for potential updates and made available to members in May.
The Heat Illness Prevention Plan resource formatting was revised to align with Cal/OSHA’s template with a checkbox feature and was made available to members in June.
These resources can be accessed and downloaded in the library section of the Authority’s website. Resources available in Word format allow members to customize for agency-specific policies and procedures.
If you have any questions, please contact your regional risk manager.
