Builder’s Risk vs. “Properly Written” Builder’s Risk
Unfortunately, builders risk insurance doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Much more time is spent on general liability coverage and getting all of the needed endorsements. While all of the issues surrounding general liability coverage are very important to ensure a successful project, so are the issues surrounding a “properly written” builder’s risk policy.
ABCs of Personal Fall Arrest Systems
Falls are some of the most common types of accidents in the workplace. When working at heights, an accident can result in serious injuries. As such, it’s important to take precautions and utilize fall protection systems. Personal fall arrest systems consist of three separate elements that work together to ensure safety by catching falling workers. The three pieces of fall arrest systems include an anchorage, a body harness and connecting devices.
Emergency Preparedness for farm
Farms, like most workplaces, face unexpected emergencies and disasters, which can be natural or man-made. To help lessen the impact of these events, employers and supervisors should develop and exercise emergency action plans (EAPs), which prepare workers for emergencies and disasters before they occur.
Work Site Scaffolding Safety
The majority of scaffold accidents on the construction site are caused by falls, slipping, or being struck by an object from above. All of these accidents can be prevented by taking the proper precautions. Here’s how.
Fall Protection Safety
Fall protection and safety is a major concern at construction sites. In fact, OSHA cites injuries from falls as one of its top 10 worksite injuries. Falls and falling objects can result from unstable working surfaces, ladders that are not safely positioned and misuse of fall protection. Workers are also subject to falls or the dangers of falling objects if sides and edges, floor holes and wall openings are not protected. Any time you are working at a height of six feet or more on the construction site, you must be protected.
Disaster Readiness Planning for Financial Institutions
In times of crisis, people need reassurance that their money is safe and easily accessible. As a financial institution, countless people and businesses rely on you every day for your services. Maintaining your daily operations is vital to your organization, which means that unexpected disaster can present a huge threat. To prepare for the unexpected, you should review your disaster readiness plans to help you minimize the impact of any potentially threatening situation.
