TT Club’s Loss Prevention team is pleased to invite readers to join a webinar discussion on single person incidents including slips, trips and falls. (www.ttclub.com )
Single person incidents make up 5% of TT’s port and terminal claims. This may seem like a small percentage, but it is the sixth most common claim seen and a single injury claim has the potential to be extremely costly.
According to TT’s claims data, 94% of bodily injury claims in the ports and terminals the Club insures are caused by operational human factors. This means that implementing procedures to reduce human error could drastically reduce these types of claims, which is what TT Club will be covering in its upcoming webinar.
During the session the following topics will be covered:
