Loss Control Program
CIBA’s Loss Control division has a team of
experienced Field Consultants employed to
provide professional loss control services and
property inspections.
Loss Control Services are available for CIBA and
Non-CIBA Participants
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
104. 104
Loss Control Program Fees
A Loss Control Program Fee is based on size of location
and is charged in support of the CIBA Loss Control
Program to provide loss control bulletins, informational
newsletters, and seminars as well as to conduct property
inspections.
The property inspections are based on a weighted priority
system and a location may or may not be inspected as
part of the new business or renewal process
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
105. 105
New Business Property Inspections
New locations added to the CIBA Program are inspected
based on a risk rating criteria that includes TIV, Year Built,
Property Type, Occupancy and Habitability rating.
Upon completion of the inspection a written report is
prepared for underwriting review and distributed to the
Broker and CIBA Program Participant.
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
106. 106
Property Inspection Findings
The Loss Control Coordinator will issue a letter to the Broker and
the CIBA Program Participant outlining the areas of concern and
the recommendation for action to resolve the issue.
If the Participant needs a reasonable amount of time to
complete the recommendations, they should communicate their
intent with the Loss Control Coordinator so the Loss Control
Coordinator is aware.
If the property inspection reveals findings that
are advisory or critical in nature...
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
107. 107
Advisory & Critical Recommendations
If a recommendation is made, the Loss Control Coordinator will follow up with the
Participant via email within 60 days & again at 90 days to record progress or
completion of the recommendations.
If the record does not show completion of the recommendations, a follow up will be
made by the Loss Control Coordinator at the 8th month of the policy year before the
locations goes to underwriting to enter the renewal underwriting process.
The underwriter will evaluate incomplete recommendations as part of the renewal
underwriting process to determine if a renewal offer will be made.
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
108. 108
Location Ratings
Each location is rated separately for Property & Liability
• Each location is given an internal-specific rating of Above Average, Average,
Below Average, or as a High Risk Notification, based on the inspection results.
• Properties that qualify as a High Risk Notification (HRN) will be addressed
immediately with the underwriter
• Properties that fall Below Average will be reviewed for non-renewal or an
increased premium or deductible if not addressed before the renewal period.
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
109. 109
High Risk Notifications (HRN)
If the property inspection reveals one of the following:
• Property Usage misrepresented in original application
• Multiple findings that are critical or some that are severe in nature...
The Loss Control Coordinator will issue a High Risk
Notification (HRN) to the underwriter.
The HRN process involves an additional review by the underwriter and
communication with the Broker of Record. There are multiple outcomes of
the HRN process:
1. The underwriter may offer the Participant the policy term to address
all areas of concern with the expectation that any and all repairs
would be completed by the time the location enters the renewal
underwriting process. If not completed, the underwriter may issue a
non-renewal.
2. The underwriter may offer a specific period of time for the
Participant to address all areas of concern and, if the repairs are not
completed by then, the underwriter may ask the Broker to replace
coverage
3. The underwriter may ask the Broker of Record to replace coverage
immediately
Sec. 12: Loss Control Program
110. 110
Renewal Property Inspection
Upon completion of the
inspection a written
report is prepared for
underwriting review and
distributed to the Broker
and CIBA Program
Participant.
At this point, the process
is the same as the new
business inspection
process as it regards
issuing the report,
advising the Participant in
regards to advisory and
critical areas of concern,
HRN, follow up and
renewal process review.
Locations currently
insured through the CIBA
Program are entered into
the reinspection process
when it has been at least
3 years since the prior
inspection. Or, upon
request by the
underwriter.
Locations continuing to be insured through the CIBA Program will be subject to
re-inspection based on a risk rating criteria that includes TIV, Year Built, property Type,
occupancy, Losses, Prior Inspection results, Crime and Habitability rating.
