District Insurance Information

New - April 2006 - Roadside Cleanup Assist Document

PDG Peter Sandercock, Chair, National Insurance Committee, has provided the following information on Rotary Insurance:

1. A job description for the DIO [district insurance officer]
2. A form that would allow the recording of District/Club assets
3. A document that would provide a 'checklist' for risks associated with the various District/Club activities and
4. A broad summary of Rotary's recent claims history in Australia.

The two 'checklist's' included should be used together to gain maximum benefit.

The Risk Analysis Checklist was previously designed by the National Insurance Committee and the Risk Management Checklist has just been provided by our liability insurer, QBE..

The DIO position description will help those currently acting in that role as well as providing interested Rotarians who may wish to fill the position in the future. With the increasing need to monitor activities within Districts, the person occupying the position of DIO should not have any other tasks added to their duties.

The claims history data indicates the payments made from 21 claims chosen at random. An underwriter looking at the loss history would know instinctively that there ia a real possibility there are more major claims to come, it is just a matter of when. All the more reason why we need to be vigilant and adopt a more professional management approach to our activities.
