EPLI is an essential coverage to protect your organization.
Take the time to provide a safe environment for your members, employees, and guests.
Employee safety is a vital concern. Monthly safety meetings continually raise awareness and prevent injuries. All monthly safety training sessions should be documented, including topic, date, names and signatures of participating employees, and name of trainer (Trustee). Limit the lifting of heavy objects (kegs). Keep a well stocked first aide kit in close proximity. Accurately document all injuries and accidents, and report as soon as possible.
Pretend to be a burglar, ask yourself how would I break in? Look for weaknesses, burglars certainly will. Install proper locks, safety bars on windows, window stops, and plant thorny bushes underneath windows. Install illuminating motion detectors, alarm system, video surveillance system, and test them all periodically. These will reduce the chances of a break-in and should assist in lowering your premiums. Check all doors and windows after functions.
A hood and duct, and fire suppression system (FSS) should be installed to cover all stoves, grills, ovens, deep fryers, and other cooking appliances. An emergency switch to activate the FSS should be placed away from the cooking area. Make sure the FSS, the hood and duct, filters, and strategically placed (proper type) fire extinguishers are regularly serviced. Deep fryers should be kept away at least 16 inches from other cooking appliances. Keep refrigeration compressors dust free. A thorough maintenance routine should be followed to clean floors, counters, and cooking surfaces.
Request a Certificate of Insurance and confirm that the contractor has adequate and acceptable coverage limits. Make sure your organization is added as an “Additional Insured” to the contractor’s policy.
Perform an in-depth safety review of the entire building. Maintain the roof, plumbing, electrical, and restrooms. Check all chairs for sturdiness, with closer attention towards collapsing chairs. Do you feel safe in the chair? Would you want your Grandparents to sit in the chair? Check for irregular seams in the carpet. Ensure that any item hanging on the wall or beam is securely fastened. Make certain that electrical outlets are not over utilized and that cords/lights are properly aligned and U.L approved. Test emergency lights in the event of a power outage.
Safely store all gardening tools and recreation equipment (horseshoes) when not being utilized. Be sure sidewalks, parking lots, and steps are free of hazardous breakup, damage, and debris. Fasten loose handrails. Remove overhanging branches that pose a potential threat. Ensure adult supervision at all times around the cooking area (BBQ’s). Make certain that hot foods stay hot and cold foods cold. Keep all cooking surfaces and utensils clean.
