Our Self-Insurance Pathway

    Lockton has in excess of 25 years experience in assisting large corporations determine whether self-insurance or Comcare is the suitable workers compensation insurance option.

    Why Self-Insurance  Workers’ compensation remains one of the largest insurance costs for employers and self-insurance can provide significant cost savings. Employers who implement a best practice framework for safety, injury and claims management can see improved cash flow benefits.

    The Roadmap to Self-Insurance  Lockton propose a 4-step process for organisations to become and maintain self-insurance. Each step requires complete buy in from a company to ensure a seamless transition out of your relevant workers’ compensation scheme.

    The Purpose of Self-Insurance  Self-insurance allows an employer to carry their own financial risk and not be burdened by poor performing clients within their industry across state-based schemes. Clients are responsible for the management of their own claims and the payment of their claim liabilities.

    Inside Risk: Aerosols – managing the property fire risk

    Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace. However, aerosols can also contain flammable substances as well as pressurised flammable propellants, such as propane or butane which can easily ignite and lead to rapid fire spread. In a fire, containers can rupture, producing jets of flame and projectiles, spreading the fire, and making firefighting more difficult. The smoke from the resulting fire can pose additional health risks. Robust property loss controls are therefore needed to manage the storage and handling of aerosols.Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace.
