With the construction industry in the midst of its steepest decline in decades, industry professionals can save money by reducing claims on job sites. A Lockton senior loss control consultant offers recommendations to prevent general liability exposures in a new report "General Liability: Protecting the Other Side of the Fence."
Loss control expert Dwayne Hartman from Lockton, the largest privately held insurance broker, says in the new white paper that eliminating hazards at a construction site must involve preplanning and continued site inspection.
In his paper, Hartman writes about the preventative measures contractors can utilize, including:
- Barricading
- Signage
- Overspray protection
- Overhead protection
The Lockton paper addresses the situations when these measures are most effective, and offers an outline of project and field management responsibilities and resources.
