SECURING PLANT SAFETY

摘要

Industrial injuries happen all the time, and it would be unwise to shrug these off merely because they have not happened in one's own plant before. Insurance companies certainly make it known that customers need to take risk assessments but may be scant on details of what exactly needs to be assessed. Plant owners and managers need to understand that once an injury occurs, the process of denying an insurance claim and any consequent court action is purely reactive and based on the premise that the possibility of injury should have been foreseen. There is little proactive effort on their part other than their published guidelines and the publicity given to previous cases.
