Copper State Risk Management provides independent risk management consulting to businesses and property owners seeking a clearer understanding of the risks that could affect their operations, property, people, and financial stability.
Led by Brad Adkins, ARM, Principal Risk Management Consultant, Copper State Risk Management combines professional risk management principles with practical field experience to identify exposures, evaluate existing controls, and develop realistic strategies for managing risk.
Effective risk management goes beyond identifying hazards.
It requires understanding how physical, operational, financial, technological, and human factors can affect an organization or property, and determining which risks require attention first.
Copper State Risk Management helps clients move from simply recognizing risk to making informed decisions about how that risk should be addressed.
Services are structured around the client, the exposures involved, and the decisions that need to be made.
Risk consulting for businesses, property owners, and organizations seeking to better understand and manage their exposures.

Property and liability risk
Operational risk
Business interruption and continuity
Workplace and premises safety
Organizational resilience and risk strategy
For property owners who want to better understand vulnerabilities affecting their homes, property, and personal liability exposures.

Property and personal liability risk
Determine the exposures, vulnerabilities, and events that could affect the client, property, or organization.
Evaluate the likelihood, potential severity, existing safeguards, and possible consequences associated with those risks.
Identify which risks require immediate attention and which can reasonably be monitored or retained.
Develop practical strategies to avoid, reduce, transfer, or retain risk based on the client's objectives and circumstances.
Risk changes over time. Existing controls, operations, property conditions, and emerging exposures should be periodically reevaluated.
Copper State Risk Management brings together hands-on risk assessment experience and formal risk management education.
Field experience provides an understanding of how losses develop in real-world environments. Professional risk management principles provide the framework for examining how those individual exposures can affect the larger organization.
The result is a broader approach focused not simply on identifying deficiencies, but on understanding their significance and determining how they should be managed.
