The Business 'Triangle' - financing the uninsured loss of a workplace accident

August 2014

All accidents have financial costs associated with them, broken down into two main categories

  • Insured
  • Uninsured

Employer’s liability insurance covers the cost of the injuries and loss to the person affected.

The uninsured costs range from sources such as:

  • the accident investigation and its remedial measures
  • down time
  • sick pay
  • over time
  • agency fees
  • administration costs
  • product re-working
  • fees for late delivery / shorting
  • business reputation damage and loss of potential future earnings
  • policy excesses
  • premium increases.....and the list goes on!

It’s these uninsured costs that I want to look at - where the money financing them comes from and what factors may influence those in the decision making process.

The Business Triangle

All workplace accidents result in costs - direct and indirect. It is the latter that ironically will directly affect the capacity of the business to meet shareholder expectations.

  • "I recently undertook my Nebosh National Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals. The training and support I received from Astutis was absolutely first class and to a very high standard. I undertook classroom based tutorship in a group of 4 and this worked very well for me. My tutors were Andrew Ashford and Mark Jones. Their knowledge of the course material and Health and Safety requirements in both a legal and application sense was amazing. They delivered the material to a very high standard in a way that was totally understandable and relatable. I work in the nuclear industry so I am used to high quality training standards. But this course was the best I have experienced to date and I would not hesitate to recommend Astutis to anyone considering this qualification. I passed all 3 exams at the first attempts gaining an overall credit rating. Which I was delighted with, thankyou Astutis!"
