| Two New Vector Solutions Courses |
|
|
Two new courses have been added to the PRISM Vector Solutions catalogue.
Situational Awareness—This course provides applicable information to employees so that they can become more aware of their surroundings and ultimately take steps to ensure their own personal safety both on the job and outside of work. The course covers 6 simple steps to increase situational awareness.
Voluntary Respirator Use Training: Filtering Facepiece Respirators (a.k.a. N95)—This course has been designed exclusively for voluntary respirator use based on Cal/OSHA’s Respiratory Protection standard (Title 8 CCR 5144) and demonstrates simple steps that will help workers properly wear a respirator. General respirator use practices are explained and demonstrated, including putting on and taking off a respirator, and performing seal checks. |

| Pollution Program Claims Reporting Reminder |
|
|
The pollution legal liability policy is written on a claims made basis. Any known claims should be reported during the policy period. Please note a retroactive date of July 1, 2021 will apply for mold, restoration costs, legionella and sewage backup claims (new conditions coverage only). This means that the renewal policy will provide coverage for these claims that occurred after July 1, 2021 and going forward, however if there are known claims in these areas it is best to report now or prior to June 30, 2022 to utilize expiring limits.
A retroactive date of July 1, 2022 will apply for CELL (Contractor’s Pollution/ incidents on 3rd party sites) and Products Pollution (i.e.: contaminated water). No retroactive or continuity of coverage is available for these coverages. The renewal policy will not provide coverage for CELL or Products Pollution Claims that occurred prior to July 1, 2022. Members should report any claims pertaining to these coverage immediately and no later than the expiration of June 30, 2022 (cc Alliant as well). If we continue with Ironshore, this retroactive date will reflect the policy inception date every year. |

| Poison Oak Risk Simplified |
|
|
 While there are many poisonous plants throughout the United States, in California, the most prevalent is poison oak. It is possible that outdoor workers will come across poison oak while completing necessary job tasks such as weed eating, clearing brush, or pruning. Contact with poison oak can cause an itchy rash, swelling, blisters, and in some cases, more severe allergic reactions. Learn more on PRISM's website. |
