Joint Loss Management Committee

The purpose of the Joint Loss Management Committee is to bring workers and management together in a cooperative effort to improve health and safety in the workplace.

The City of Portsmouth considers no aspect of its operation or administration more important than the health and safety of its employees, customers, and community.  We work to improve our processes, demonstrate leadership, and deliver comprehensive safety programs.  The expectation is that all employees adhere to our safety standards, and actively participate in and support the advancement of our health and safety practices.  Individual accountability is accomplished by fostering a culture focused on awareness, open communication, safety education, supervision, and safe working methods. Safety is the responsibility of all employees, including both top management and the individual skilled worker. We will work together to achieve our goal of reducing work place injuries.
