Zurich takes on slips, trips and falls
Gravity - what's it costing you? Slips, trips and falls might be fodder for slapstick comedy, but at Zurich, we're not laughing. According to our claim site, slip, trip and fall losses account for about 14 percent of our overall losses. Each year, these injuries cost our customers millions in indemnity and lost time costs along with needless suffering among their employees, customers and the general public. It's time for new tactics.
- We're asking you...to join us in a full-scale effort to drastically reduce slips, trips and falls at your company. We've mobilized our resources--Risk Engineering, Claims and Underwriting to develop a comprehensive program that addresses the problem from all angles - pre-loss and post-lost - using innovative tools and resources.
- But we need your help! To start, we will introduce the tools and resources we've developed. They range from accident investigation tools to specially designed prevention best practices. The first step is to evaluate which tools will help you address your individual needs.
This page provides links to risk engineering online tools and resources for the prevention of slips, trips and falls.
