... from their documents to enhance their range of relationships. Here's my list of the 10 most common (and terrible) antiquated phrases in the insurance industry. See how many you find the next time you review a typical claims adjuster's or examiner's correspondence. Yours very truly. No, you're not! Use sincerely. Please be advised. This is standoffish legalese that really means tell' or inform. Above-captioned loss. Why not just name the loss instead of breaking the reader's train of thought? For example, if the caption says Insured: Jones Co., you could write the Jones Co. loss. Kindly. How about please'? Please do not hesitate. This was a light, bright phrase about 40 years ago, but now it's a cliché . Don't be the millionth person to recycle it. I have forwarded. You're not playing football! Use sent. Please note that. This sounds patronizing and makes me feel as though I should get out my notebook. Don't use it. Enclosed please find. Exactly what's to be found in your letter? Use I've enclosed' or enclosed is. And it's OK to say I' in business writing. After all, you are doing the enclosing. Under separate cover. This phrase reminds me of the lid of a big spaghetti pot. Say you're sending something separately, by Fed Ex, or however. Contact the undersigned. You are most often the undersigned - write contact me' or call me. Here are more old-fashioned phrases to avoid and possible substitutes: affords us the opportunity- gives us the opportunity as per our discussion ...

... jobs or even carry out simple tasks. Exposure to cotton dust also leads to increased risk of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. At the time the final standard was published, as many as 100,000 workers in the cotton industry were at risk' from cotton dust exposure. An estimated 35,000 individuals are disabled from byssinosis as a result of exposure to cotton dust. WORKER PROTECTION To protect workers from disabling respiratory diseases, employers are required to limit the amount of respirable cotton dust in the air. The limits- known as permissible exposure limits-are average exposures as measured over an eight-hour workday. For yarn manufacturing the limit is 200 micrograms of cotton dust per cubic meter of air; for textile waste houses, 500 micrograms; for slashing and weaving operations, 750 micrograms; and for waste recycling and garnetting, 1,000 micrograms. Cottonseed processing operations are covered by the standard, but there is no permissible exposure limit. DUST MEASUREMENT Employers must measure the workplace cotton dust level at least every six months, or whenever there are any changes in equipment or work practices which might increase the amount of cotton dust in the air. Measurements must be representative of an eight-hour period and be performed for each shift and in each work area. Employers must explain the procedure to their workers and permit them to observe the monitoring. They must notify employees in writing of the findings within five days after measurement. If the levels are above OSHA standards, employers must list in the notice to employees the steps they will take to correct problems. DUST CONTROLS Often employers can reduce dust levels by ...

... present your products in the best possible light. In direct marketing campaigns designed to provoke a response of some kind, creativity often takes a back seat to other factors. In the 60-20-20 rule (or any of its countless variations), audience is essential, offer is everything, and creativity is merely compulsory. Nevertheless, copy remains king. Here's why: Without good copy, your perfectly-targeted audience might never understand that wonderful offer of yours or, even if they're suitably impressed, might not summon the energy to do anything about it. So whether you're penning an e-blast yourself, or reviewing your agency's draft of an upcoming self-mailer, it pays to know the difference between highly effective copy — the kind that commands high response rates — and the kind that just speeds your campaigns journey to the recycle bin. Nailed your lists? Got an irresistible offer? Great. Here are eight ways to make sure the copy does its job, too: 1. MAKE YOUR COPY APPROACHABLE Even great copy won't work if people don't read it. Present everything in digestible, "bite-size" chunks: Split up any paragraph longer than three lines. Present key selling concepts in a series of bullets. Use ellipses ( ) both within sentences and at the end of serial bullets to keep the readers eye moving .. Sprinkle the page (or screen) with subheads (preferably bold or underlined, unless you're working in text-only e-mail) . Add more bold and underline treatments. For every important idea. Remember, some readers skim only the big-and-bold; others might decide to read more, but only ...
