We would view
Risk Management as an essential tool for all our clients, irrespective
of their size, activities or budgets. In the past we have issued
comprehensive Risk Management reports for Local Authorities, Health
Boards and Vocational Education Committees and we provide a backup
service to tailor these to the needs of individual members. We sit
on Risk Management Committees that have been established in various
Authorities and participate in the Local Authority Safety Advisors'
Group, the Clinical Risk Managers' Forum, the Fire Committee of
the National Safety Council, the Health and Safety Authority Advisory
Committee on the Health Services and the Health and Safety Authority
Advisory Committee on the Education Sector.
Risk
Management Computer Software |
We provide,
without additional charge, a software package that allows clients
to record and analyse all incidents, accidents, claims and near
misses. The compilation of a database of such incidents is an essential
in implementing a structured risk management programme in any organisation.
Our in-house
Quantity Surveyor is available to carry out insurance valuations
on all insured properties. This ensures that all policies are tailor
made to meet the needs of individual Members and avoids the problem
of underinsurance in the event of a claim
Annual
Reports and Review |
We provide a
Report on all insurances to each Client annually. This Report sets
out, in summary form, details of all the covers arranged. We comment
on the extent of the cover in force and make recommendations on
appropriate improvements, if necessary. These Reports are then followed
up by review and service calls by IPB personnel.
As Insurers
we investigate, handle and settle all claims covered under our policies.
In addition we can provide a comprehensive claims handling service
for all uninsured losses for our members.
IPB will examine
and report on the adequacy of the insurance covers arranged by contractors
engaged by our Members. We have, over the past number of years,
compiled reports on many contractors who carry out public works
contracts and details of these reports are available to you on a
separate section of this website.
IPB provides
assistance to clients in the preparation of Safety
Statements.
The Company developed the first model Safety Statement for Local
Authorities, Health Boards and for Vocational Education Committees.
Risk Management
and Insurance Seminars |
IPB organise
various seminars and workshops on insurance, claims and risk management
related topics. Subjects covered in the past include Health &
Safety legislation, Contract Conditions, Claims Investigation, Risk
Management, Plant Hire, Record Keeping in Hospitals, etc.
