It is an unfortunate fact but unforeseen events do occur which cause:
- Injury
- Loss
- Damages to your property
- Damage to 3rd party
One way to mitigate these risks is through Insurance which is the transfer of risk.
Another way to mitigate risks is having a robust risk management programme in place.
A simple explanation of what Risk Management is:
- Identifying hazards
- Assessing those hazards (how dangerous they are)
- putting steps to in place to reduce those hazards
- continuous Monitoring of those hazards, training and acting when there are issues
- Providing training to staff and continuous support to manage the hazards
- Documentation
The benefits of a Risk Management Programme include:
- Protect staff and customers
- Protect the Company’s brand and reputation
- Protect the assets of a company
- Improve efficiency
- Reduce the risk of claims
- Reduce Insurance costs
- Reduce the cost of claims
Insurance companies love to see evidence of a strong Risk Management and will offer discounts on premiums if they see a structured, management supported and documented risk management programme. The courts also love to see documentation in the unfortunate event of a claim.
