    Sample Proposal For Safety Measure

    The document proposes hands-on ladder safety training for all claims adjusters upon being hired since they may be asked to assist during catastrophes. For in-office adjusters who have less experience, a brief refresher training would be offered before deployment. The training would decrease injuries and costs from accidents while increasing willingness to volunteer during disasters. Potential obstacles like costs and time are minor compared to the value of employee safety.

    Sample Proposal for Safety Measure

    Situation: Outside claims adjusters who regularly inspect homes, including roofs, are trained in
    ladder safety and get daily hands-on experience handling and climbing ladders. In-office claims
    adjusters watch a ladder safety video when they are hired but receive little to no additional
    training thereafter. When catastrophes strike and in-office claims personnel are solicited to assist
    the outside claim representatives, they are inadvertently put in harm’s way due to their relative
    inexperience with proper ladder use.

    Proposed Solution: Since all claims personnel could potentially be asked to make site
    inspections, each new claims adjuster should receive hands-on ladder safety training upon being
    hired. If called upon to assist with a catastrophe situation, in-office adjusters should be given the
    option of a brief refresher in ladder safety prior to being deployed.

    Steps Involved:

    1. Design and implement a new hands-on training program on ladder safety.


    2. Purchase additional ladders for use in the training.
    3. All current in-office claims personnel attend the new training.
    4. Design and implement a refresher course to be conducted when catastrophes are declared.
    5. Conduct refresher courses for existing employees as needed.

    Benefits:

    1. The new process would decrease the likelihood of a claims adjuster being involved in a
    serious accident, eliminating potential worker’s compensation claims, health insurance
    premiums, poor employee morale, and employees’ time off work.
    2. The new training options would increase the likelihood of in-office adjusters being
    willing to volunteer their time when a catastrophe strikes by boosting their confidence in
    their ability to do so safely.

    Potential Obstacles:

    1. The time associated with designing and conducting the initial and subsequent courses
    (estimated 120 hours for the first year of implementation and 36 hours in subsequent
    years). The safety of our employees is of utmost important, so even the prevention of one
    injury is a priceless investment to the company. Additionally, the elimination of potential
    worker’s compensation and health insurance costs, as well as employee time off, would
    offset the time lost by the training.
    2. The cost of additional ladders for the training (approximately $320). This is a minor cost
    and would also be offset, as explained above.
    3. The time lost by employees undergoing the training (1 hour per employee plus 30-minute
    refresher, if applicable). This investment is miniscule when considering the value of the
    employees’ safety.
    4. Determining who would conduct the training in the event of a catastrophe. Since outside
    claims adjusters are quite busy when a disaster hits, one potential solution might be for an
    experienced in-office claims adjuster to conduct the refresher course.
