THREATSWorkplace Risk exposes your organisation to:
§ Significant and Compulsory Financial Cost (Workers’ Compensation)§ Onerous liabilities upon your Corporation and Executives (e.g. Industrial Manslaughter)§ Significant Industrial Relations Challenges including instances of unions utilising Safety Legislation as a
major negotiating lever.

§ Commonwealth Authorities (Comcare)§ State based Workers’ Compensation Authorities throughout

insurance broker

UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION
“Performance Assessment” involves an appraisal of your organisation’s current Workplace Risk status, including identifying imminent Opportunities and Threats.
Prior to understanding what is required by your organisation to manage its Workplace Risks, we undertake a Performance Assessment.
SERVICE ACTIVITIES
Performance Assessment

§ Negotiation of Insurance Placements
§ Establishment of Insurer / Service Provider Agreements
Once we have assessed your performance we will determine, with you, the most appropriate approach to achieve immediate benefits and Sustained Performance Improvement.
This may be via a Tactical or Strategic approach - or both.
These steps can be applied to your organisation if you are:
§ Traditionally insured
§ Seeking to move into Self Insurance, or
§ As a strategic management tool if you are already self insured
