Loss Prevention Committee
- Want to be in a room with LSPs, environmental attorneys, risk assessors and other allied practitioners to learn what they think and say about topics of interest to the practice?
- Do you have lessons learned about contracting, business practices and technical practice issues you would like to share with the membership?
- Want to be able to see all of MassDEP’s Notices of Audit Findings to gauge where your practice is and how you might improve it?
- Are you curious about issues related to LSP Board complaints?
You need to be part of this committee.
The LSPA’s Loss Prevention Committee is dedicated to promoting increased awareness among the LSPA membership of how to manage risk, and identifying practice areas that might benefit from applying proactive risk management procedures. The standards of practice studied by the Committee fall into four categories: Technical Practice, Business Practice, Legal Strategies, and Insurance. The Committee develops and offers risk management tools to the LSPA membership based on the review and compilation of:
- Lessons learned from MCP submittals,
- MassDEP audit findings,
- Meetings and discussions with MassDEP staff, and
- LSP Board actions on complaints and licensing matters.
These Risk Management tools are offered via newsletter articles, LSPA Membership presentations, compliance tips, and other correspondence.
The Loss Prevention Committee meets on the third Thursday of each month, from 8am – 10am (please see schedule below). For more information, contact the committee chair.
