MANUFACTURING COMPANY EMBRACES EAP WORKING PARTNERS General Alum & Chemical Corporation in Holland, Ohio, manufactures liquid aluminum sulfate, a substance used primarily in paper manufacturing and water and waste treatment. As in many other small businesses, management personnel were acquainted with the concept of employee assistance programs (EAPs) but did not pursue implementation because they thought that the cost would be prohibitive and that EAPs were a luxury for only large corporations. General Alum was a small company, one where everybody knew everybody and no one believed there were any serious problems. Then, one year, an employee on drugs went home and killed his wife. The work force at General Alum was stunned. It could happen here; it happened here. Management knew it was time to implement preemployment and for cause drug screening. Exploring this type of program led management to consider what it would do if someone failed the test. From there, it was only a short distance to an EAP. Once they learned how modest the costs were (approximately $900 a year), only two major hurdles remained: confidentiality and EAP coverage for a three-state operation. They found an external EAP firm that could provide services at the three worksites, help the company develop an alcohol and drug policy, and maintain strict confidentiality. Since the traumatic incident, nearly 40% of General Alum's employees have joined the EAP program. Approximately 17% use the program for substance abuse problems such as alcohol ...

... refer to subsection 4.4, Loss Magnitude Category Rankings' for details concerning the three proposed levels of assessed severity. In the true sense of business impact analysis such items as competition, product failure, hostile stock takeover, hostile competition via patent infringement and adverse labor relations are factors to be considered but they are not necessarily applicable to the risk management spectrum. Other items such as regulatory activity have an impact on the business analysis including, but not limited to the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and American Disability Act (ADA) . 4.2 Comprehensive Analysis In projecting the probable maximum foreseeable event, it is important to combine several exposures in order to achieve a realistic impact on the corporate operating and financial abilities. A hypothetical loss situation in a manufacturing facility could entail these conditions: a boiler explosion with an ensuing fire, injury to both employees and third party guests; fire damage occurring in the immediate exterior perimeter as well as structural collapse affecting self-insured fleet vehicles. In analyzing a major crisis situation such as natural hazards, it is important to extend the impact on finances to assess the effects of major losses against either self-insured or experience rated group medical benefit plans. Consideration should be given to other specific adverse exposures such as hostile takeover, product extortion, product contamination, product recall, pollution, limited resource interdependency, government regulatory problems, destructive union and strike activities as well as hostile media situations. 4.3 Evaluating Crises Exposures In the process of evaluating crises exposures, a determination concerning estimated probability of crises loss should be developed concerning the ...

... x No Thanks Loading.. This Is A Sloppy Industry — Which Creates Great Opportunities!4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Chris Burand This content has not been rated yet. Property/Casualty, and even Benefits, insurance, as practiced, is often sloppy. In many cases, quality is not a true concern. I know that everyone professes quality is critical, but quality is often not reality. I'm surprised that the sloppiness of our industry doesn't receive more attention. The good news: Sloppy industries are ripe for agencies that can deliver quality! Let's first establish the extent of the sloppiness. Insurers manufacture only paper and when claims occur, they manufacture checks and legal defense. Some sophisticated agencies manufacture loss control (risk management) The industry does not manufacture complex machines. In fact, even the forms used are usually standard, boilerplate commodities. Yet, there are insurance companies that can't print and mail, or even e-mail a policy before the effective date, even on renewals where nothing changes. These policies are not merely a day late, a week late, or sometimes even just a month late. I have personally received my business owners policy (BOP) renewal nine months late. That's a longer delay than a space shuttle launch. Keep in mind the complexity of a space shuttle. My BOP had one custom item: my name. That's sloppy. Agencies spend small fortunes checking insurance policies delivered by carriers and brokers for errors. They do this because the error rate is still too high. Years ago, after writing an article about carrier ...

INFORMATION DATE 19920216 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights-OSHA's Final Rule on Formaldehyde TOPIC Formaldehyde SUBJECT Occupational Exposure to Formaldehyde ABSTRACT Formaldehyde is one of the most common chemicals in use today. As a chemical building block, its use can be traced to consumer goods through a wide spectrum of manufacturing processes. The use of formaldehyde as a preservative in medical laboratories and as an embalming agent in mortuaries is generally known. Formaldehyde is primarily used in the manufacture of urea, phenol, and melamine resins and for a variety of special industrial chemicals. The downstream use of formaldehyde-based inputs is found throughout the U.S. economy. It contributes to the production of about 8 percent of the gross national product (GNP) of the United States.
