In the event an incident occurs that results in damage or loss, or which is likely to result in damage or loss to property, or which results in injury to third parties (visitors, guests, or in some cases students) a risk management incident report must be completed and filed to record the incident. In some cases an insurance claim will be opened and the appropriate claim investigation measures will be initiated. There are several types of claims that Risk & Compliance Management needs to be notified of in a timely manner.
