Description

The Liability Reduction Model is a proactive tool used to anticipate, prevent and prepare for risks and sources of liability in a professional working environment.

The LRM is a generic process intended to reduce the probability of liability (adverse outcomes) in virtually any aspect of a company’s operations. 

It is based on “the four D’s” of liability reduction: Diagnose, Develop, Deliver and Defend policies and training solutions adopted by the company.
