Defense Litigation Guidelines
At the October Board of Directors meeting, the EIA announced that a new document was created to help our members with managing their litigation. The Defense Litigation Guidelines were created as a user friendly document so that members can enter their own entity name and information personalizing the document for use with their retained counsel. We hope that you find the Guidelines useful in establishing best practices with your Defense Counsel as we work together to navigate through the litigation process. The document can be found on our website under EIA Documents, Claims, Procedures. Should you have any questions about the document, please feel free to contact Mike Pott.
Background Check Services
Employers have a duty to do background checks to ensure prospective employees will not pose a risk to the public, other agency employees, or the agency. However, these checks can often be very expensive, so the EIA is proud to announce our partnership with Plexus Global to provide members with a preferred pricing agreement for background check services! You can find out more about these services here, or you can contact the Loss Prevention Department for more information.
Pressure Vessel Basics and Inspections
Does your entity own or operate boilers or pressurized tanks? If so, you may be required by CA Labor Code 7620-7771 and California Code of Regulations, Title 8, sections 450-560 and sections 750-797 to conduct periodic inspections, and obtain permits to operate your machinery. Property Program members that have boiler & machinery coverage can obtain equipment inspection(s) at no cost through our partnership with Hartford Steam Boiler.
