Surveys are conducted to detect, eliminate, and control physical and environmental hazards that contribute to accidents or damages that result in losses. Surveys allow the staff to observe operating methods and practices, complete comprehensive reports of findings, and make recommendations.

Over 70 specialized swimming pool surveys and 100 gas utility audits are conducted each year. Certified industrial hygiene experts conduct specialized surveys on indoor air quality, toxic chemicals, and other occupational health issues. Members are provided with boiler and machinery surveys and inspections that satisfy state requirements. In addition to regular field visits, the Pool's staff responds to member phone calls for assistance on risk management issues.

The Pool's Loss Prevention staff is in constant contact with members, conducting on-site evaluations, analyzing loss trends, and providing services and resources designed and implemented to help reduce the frequency and severity of actual or potential losses. Claims data is provided to members to assist them in analyzing losses and making proper loss prevention decisions. Members are provided with the latest, up-to-date information pertaining to items that may cause a loss. Pool staff are frequently invited to speak at municipal meetings, regional housing authority associations, water utility board associations, and other associations around the state.
