A Strong Insurance Partner Can Help Your Safety Program
Having dependable insurance programs covering your fleet and employees can
play an important role in your safety program. Your carrier can help you
identify missing policies and forms, provide information about best practices,
and evaluate your claims data to identify patterns. Despite recent
improvements, solid waste collection employees continues to have one of the
highest workplace fatality rates in the United States, and garbage trucks are
involved in accidents on virtually a daily basis.
When you are considering insurance carriers, make sure to ask the right
questions, including:
1. What experience do you have insuring solid waste companies?
2. What are the carriers’ A.M. Best ratings?
3. How does your company differ from others offering insurance coverage?
4. What do you do besides take payments and pay claims?
5. What is the right coverage and deductibles for my company?
Insurance is important. Make sure you are using credible and experienced
insurance carriers to help prevent costly accidents and injuries.
