Chairman's messages and action plan:
Loss prevention is a crucial activity for insurers and a field of co-operation with their clients as well.
Accidents give rise to financial losses and it is in the joint interest of clients and insurers to put into practice prevention measures that could avoid accidents or mitigate their effects.
Loss prevention is even in the larger interest of the economic system since the fact that the financial burden of the occurrence is transferred from the client to the insurers - insurance as a risk transfer mechanism - does not eliminate its negative consequences and the eventually disruptive effects on the economic activity.
Furthermore, if we consider that sometime accidents do not produce material damages only but also, sadly, personal injuries or even loss of lives, it becomes evident that any prevention activity is in the common interest of the society.
The co-operation between insurers and clients finds its reasons also in their different experience : risk management should be in itself in the hands of the client who knows his business and its critical areas, however, whilst large corporations have their in-house risk manager, this is not always the case for all clients, particularly the smaller ones ; insurers on the other hand, thanks to the wide range of risks they underwrite and to the specific focus they have on loss prevention, can bring into the scene an added value.
Hence the role that the Loss Prevention Committee has within the scope of IUMI, focussing on all lines of marine insurance: with this spirit the effort of the Committee is to propose during the Annual Conference Workshop a bundle of topics which can attract common interest and provide added value to the delegates: comments and suggestions will help us to make our work more fruitful.
