Risks are very common and costly in any enterprise.
You have to remember that accidents in industry, service, or business will always happen. Even if you spend a lot of time, effort, and money on providing a comfortable and safe environment, these incidents will still happen – due to safety violations or even human error.
They are called expensive because each claim can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which will have a negative impact not only on your business but also on your reputation.
That is why the first and the main rule of any successful enterprise is not just to minimize risks, but to provide full insurance coverage for the entire business.
Pros and cons of insurance certificates
When it comes to business insurance, the main document is the Certificate Of Insurance (COI).
It contains the most important aspects, such as:
- The name of the policyholder;
- Expiration date;
- Terms and conditions of insurance;
- Limitations on insurance.
COI is crucial in insurance matters, but it should be remembered that in the case of a large company, this is more than a dozen, and sometimes a hundred such documents. Therefore, managing them is a rather difficult task.
A specialist whose work is connected with reducing risks in an enterprise must keep track of many insurances and many parameters because any unaccounted-for factor in this work can lead to significant financial losses.
This activity is associated with some additional complications. We are talking about cases where your business needs to subcontract employees of another organization to carry out its activities. You have to be absolutely sure that they have insurance because if an accident happens while carrying out work for your organization or on your territory, you will be responsible for it.
Such organizations include almost any company working in the field of services. Airlines, shipping, passenger transportation, manufacturing… Probably we can say that there is not a single area of business today that does not employ third-party workers to do its work.
This once again underlines the importance of having insurance documents and the necessity of keeping track of them. Some organizations hire an entire staff for this purpose, which ends up being overwhelmed with the paperwork of tracking, monitoring, and updating the flow of insurance certificates. Despite this, however, statistics show that between 36% and 53% of businesses are involved in at least one lawsuit in any given year. Which indicates a lack of control over all necessary risk-related documents.
