Catholic Mutual has developed "Be Smart - Drive Safe" to provide a convenient defensive driving course to aid in the reduction of auto accidents and injuries. This "online" course is offered at no cost and provides multiple benefits to any employee or volunteer who drives on behalf of the Church.

Risk Analysis Reports

These reports provide comprehensive loss information. Reports are generated either quarterly or monthly and provide our Members excellent data to track losses. A year-end report allows comparison of current data to previous year’s experience.

Onsite Safety Surveys

Almost 100 arch/dioceses participate in an onsite inspection program, with over 6,000 onsite inspections being conducted each year by Catholic Mutual's staff.
The majority of arch/dioceses with a CRM belong to Catholic Umbrella Pool (CUP) and have locations inspected annually. Our Home Office Loss Control Representatives conduct onsite inspections for arch/dioceses that do not have a CRM. The majority of these arch/dioceses belong to Catholic Umbrella Pool II (CUP II).

Self Inspection Report

Parishes not inspected by a CRM or Loss Control Representative during a given year complete a Self Inspection Report (SIR). Approximately 4,200 locations participate in the SIR program. The Self Inspection Report form was developed to provide a simple means for a person to conduct an inspection at their facility. Questions asked in the report help identify hazards, thus reducing exposure to loss.

Risk Management Seminars

Catholic Mutual's Risk Management staff offers safety seminars for Member locations on a variety of risk management topics. New arch/diocesan policies are often introduced during these safety seminars.

Risk Management Policy Development and Implementation

Catholic Mutual’s Risk Management staff works with our Members to develop and implement Risk Management policies. These policies are tailor-made to fit the unique needs of each member. Catholic Mutual has assisted with the following policies:
