Risk Management is the process to identify, analyze and respond to operational risk factors. Certain operational risk factors are mitigated through insurance products and also through contractual risk transference.

NJIT purchases various insurance products to protect the organization as well as its employees and students from various risk factors such as slip and falls, injuries which take place in the course of employment, damage to NJIT equipment, etc. See list of NJIT coverages from insurance coverage tile.

Please contact NJIT’s Department of Risk Management at riskmanagement@njit.edu to assist with appropriate COI requirements.
