- W596728222 abstract "It has been said that the best offense is a good defense. It appears this is also a good recommendation for many of the issues we face in life. To achieve a desired end, we must provoke the proper means. The same principle applies in how a municipality prepares a good preventive program to protect itself from liability. This paper outlines ways to minimize liability lawsuits by identifying risk, maintaining roads and other traffic areas, reporting, training, reviewing, and including hold harmless language in contracts. Liability risk exists when there is a failure to maintain roads, signing, traffic signals, pavement marking, guardrails, or sidewalks to keep them in reasonably safe condition. If an agency does not warn the public or does not make repairs in a reasonable period of time, there is liability risk. Risk also exists when an agency fails to follow established guidelines for a discretionary function such as design or construction. Periodic field inspections and a timely response to notice of defects are the keys to lawful maintenance. Good records provide a foundation for a good maintenance program and a legal defense if there is also a recorded program for timely problem resolution. Records that include appropriate background checks of new and existing employees show an agency is minimizing risk of employee negligence. Initial and periodic training further shows that the employer is acting to insure that what the employee does is appropriate and within the approved scope of employment. Reviewing traffic incidents reveals any need for improvement of traffic control. There is no one way to eliminate liability exposure, but these guidelines will assist municipalities in minimizing risk." @default.
