Risk management is putting processes in place to help carry out decisions that will minimize accidental loss and control risk. There are numerous methods of managing risk, including avoidance, prevention, mitigation, retention and transfer. One technique is by using insurance to treat risk.

UW-Eau Claire is protected for liability, property and worker's compensation insurance risks primarily through the State of Wisconsin's self-funded programs (State Statutes 893.82 and 895.46). Self-funded plans typically require the organization to have the risk tolerance to retain potentially significant losses and embraces risk control as part of their culture.

Located within the State of Wisconsin's Department of Administration, the Bureau of State Risk Management (BSRM) manages the self-funded programs for liability, property and workers compensation. Annual premiums are assessed to all State agencies to fund the self-funded programs. Additional excess liability is secured by purchasing coverage from various carriers to reduce the State's exposure to catastrophic losses.
