What insurers should do about uninsured hazards
Article Abstract:
Insurers should develop guidelines for their field personnel to follow consistently when they discover hazards that are not covered by company policies. There are two ways to deal with such situations. The representative may choose to do nothing, informing neither the insured nor the insurer. This approach limits the insurer's liability for any misunderstanding of the policy. The representative may choose to be open about the danger because it may lead to other problems covered by the policy.

Loss managers can learn from their own mistakes
Article Abstract:
Loss control managers should pay attention to their own work environment to determine if there is any danger in developing carpal tunnel syndrome problems, which affect about 5% of the workplace. The same recommendations managers make to others to prevent such injuries should be followed by their own staffs. Tuning in to their own work environments will also make them more sensitive to others who have similar situations.
