SDSURF Risk Management's primary function is to help SDSURF accomplish its goals. SDSURF is a complex organization responsible for providing support to many projects and community programs, which contain substantial assets and are involved in a wide range of activities on a daily basis. Due to the nature of SDSURF business processes, risks are inherent; therefore a collaborative and collective approach to navigating those risks is extremely beneficial. It is the responsibility of every SDSURF employee, PI, manager and supervisor to assist in avoiding and limiting exposures to losses involving injuries, finances, liability, litigation, property and negative media in each program, project or department.
