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.

  • "The course its self was very well presented and included valuable information. the tutor was very knowledgeable and was able to provide us with real life examples to help understand further. My only downside was the lack or exam practice within the course, the tutor allowed for students to practice exam questions and submit to him for feedback and opened the class half an hour earlier for people to attend to discuss the results. However, this topic was not covered as part of the cause so if you could not attend earlier or have time to submit after you have no feedback on completing the exam questions and no prep for how you should be responding."
