What is the Risk Management/Insurance Practice Specialty?The Risk Management/Insurance Practice Specialty covers hundreds, if not thousands, of topics. The professional aspects of our practice specialty are an ever-expanding arena that interface and overlap more and more with safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals. An understanding of regulations and issues in risk management/insurance is a must for most SH&E professionals. With such a vast field of knowledge to cover, ASSE created the Risk Management/Insurance Practice Specialty. ASSE has always recognized the need for risk management/insurance professionals in the SH&E arena. The goal of the Risk Management/Insurance Practice Specialty is to develop and disseminate a Body of Knowledge for the SH&E community. This Body of Knowledge also serves those who wish to become SH&E professionals with interests in Risk Management/Insurance topics. The practice specialty membership provides many resources. A brief overview of our resources is as follows: RM/Insight—The practice specialty publishes a tri-annual newsletter that includes timely articles on issues affecting risk management/insurance SH&E professionals.
