Risk Management & Safety

Risk Management & Safety's Insurance Administration and Workers' Compensation groups are responsible for protecting the welfare of students, staff, patrons, and assets of UNLV, CSN, and NSC from risks and financial loss. To accomplish these tasks, RMS coordinates with other departments to identify & analyze risk, develop risk control techniques, select appropriate retention and/or transfer of risk, and provide risk administration.

Workers' compensation is a benefit provided to employees who are injured as a result of performing their work duties. NSHE fully supports the right of every employee to file a workers' compensation claim when a work related injury or occupational disease occurs, and it is the responsibility of Risk Management & Safety's Workers' Compensation group to coordinate WC claims for UNLV and the entities of Business Center South.
