LOSS CONTROL MANAGEMENT SERVICES
What is Loss Control Risk Management Consulting?
A professional function employed by most insurance companies and successful business management to control loss, reduce exposures, prevent loss, and sustain short and long term growth.
Problem - loss control consulting performed by insurance companies is figured from the overall premium a company pays.
Example - If you pay $50,000 worth of premium per year, the insurance carrier will calculate 1 hour of Loss Control Service time for every $2,000 worth of premium. then spread that time throughout the year for your business.
Thus, you would have about 25 hours of loss control consulting time. So odds of eliminating, reducing, or controlling losses are less likely to occur if you don’t have the leadership at the top properly reviewing and controlling your business loss exposures and the systems in place to verify their unbiased continuity effectiveness,
The following fundamental programs must be refined, efficient, and effective with excellent leadership and if you don't have them in your business you should. If your are doing them to comply with OSHA, MSHA, DOT or other regulatory compliance initiatives you are doing them for the wrong reason. You do these programs to become a better manufacturer, contractor, or service provider to have less down time from employee accidents, injury, damage, reduced customer complaints, better productivity, improved quality, quality of workmanship, as well as comply with OSHA, MSHA, DOT, etc. or Insurance and other compliance standards and initiatives.
Program Leadership - Starts at the top
Q. How many businesses have a policy related to property conservation - protection of physical assets, safety - protection of
human assets, quality of workmanship and customer satisfaction? The policy sets direction, awareness, and attitude
towards Property Conservation Safety and Loss Control Management Commitment. We can assist you in the development,
implementation of effective ways of communication, and effective use of the policy or statement.
Employee Job Orientation and Training
Although your employees are skilled, a professional safety orientation presentation and training program sets the stage for program leadership and awareness. Global Loss Control has the ability to develop a New Hire Power Point and training program with PPT slides or video of positive business areas as well as most common and specific exposures. An informed employee can do a safer and more productive job from the out set, when they are informed of the engineering control, administrative controls or PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) you August provide and rely on for their protection and the protection of others..
Safety Group, Team or Committee Expectation
Each business, entity, institution, organization or major project needs to develop a loss control and or safety group, team, or committee which functions for the purpose of the prevention of loss, identifying exposures/hazards and developing controls and recommendations to eliminate their exposure for loss within a business unit, entity or project they are a part of. Be sure the group has training and pre-determined guidelines which are fluid and can change from project to project. It is important to remember that the loss control, safety group, team, or committee is responsible in part for identifying unsafe practices, hazards, and exposures within the confines of the business unit, entity, or project and must control them through: Project definition, project development, project submittal, follow through, percent completion, and auditing of engineering controls, administrative controls or personal protective equipment. Equipped with the proper training, the safety group, team or committee can be a very effective component in handling the loss control management areas for each business unit, entity and or project.
Program and Project Auditing
Unbiased Ethical project loss control management auditing is perhaps the wave of the future, as it allows project management to see the strengths and weaknesses in their over all project and practices in real time dimensions, with regards to reducing the potential for loss. The audit also provides an immediate benchmark to facilitate better project management in specific areas to assure reduction of now and future or potentials for loss.
Observations of Practices and Physical Areas
Some of the areas we review when requested in our auditing services are task observation, quality of workmanship, hearing conservation, PPE, construction tools, equipment operation, guarding, manual materials handling/ lifting devices, materials placement/storage, ventilation, storm protection, emergency preparedness, ladders, scaffolding, hazard communication/chemical safety awareness, spill controls, environmental health exposure, I H plan and work controls, fall protection - leading edge work areas, floor openings, solid and hazardous waste storage/disposal, flammable liquid handling/dispensing/storage, energy isolation - lockout/tagout of processes equipment, and facility security.

Accident/Incident Investigation and Analysis
Each physical threat, accident, incident, high-potential near miss... aside from being reported immediately, must be investigated with an emphasis not just reviewing immediate cause, but the root cause. Once the root cause is determined then recommendations to prevent recurrence must be developed, followed up on, implemented and audited regardless of the task, practice, process, system, or physical location it occurred within. ©1994 - 2008D J Brignola 1994 Global Loss Control, Inc.
