  • Legionella Update

    environmental Strategist between the lines:  In the last couple of years I have sent out more articles on Legionella than any other environmental subject.  Why, because after years of monitoring Legionella the amount of attention focusing on this pollutant has increased dramatically.

    As you will see in the links below, there are a variety of sources for Legionella and it impacts a wide spectrum of your insureds.

    Studies have shown that 40 to 60% of cooling towers have tested positive for Legionella.

    These articles will assist you to coach up your insureds on better managing and transferring their Legionella exposure.

  • Trouble in the Magic Kingdom

    eS, between the lines:  In the past couple of years I have observed a significant increase in the number of Legionnaires’ outbreaks making the news.  When I make a statement like that it means you need to be strategizing with your insureds about their exposure to Legionnaires’ Disease.

    ERMI has sent out several articles on this significant health risk, but for a little background, Legionnaires’ Disease is caused by a bacteria called legionella that is spread through the air, not person to person.

    Legionnaires’ is an environmental exposure that can impact anyone using central air conditioning systems, fountains, room-air humidifiers, ice-making machines, whirlpool spas, water heating systems, showers, misting systems typically found in grocery-store produce sections, cooling towers used in industrial cooling systems, evaporative coolers, nebulizers, humidifiers, etc.

    If the Magic Kingdom, the “happiest place on earth,” can be impacted by Legionnaires’ Disease, just about anyone can.  Moreover, one can face the reputational risk it creates for those with a Legionnaires’ Liability.

    Site Pollution insurance policies can cover your insureds for Legionnaires’ Disease.  When it comes to strategizing with your insureds about Legionnaires’, the cleanup after an outbreak is the fourth concern your insured should be focused on.  The first three are:

    • Third-Party Bodily Injury
    • Defense Cost
    • First and Third-Party Business Income

    Can your insureds afford to self-insure as most businesses are right now for Legionnaires?

    What is your insured’s financial assurance strategy for Legionnaires’ Liabilities?

    Is your E&O insurance the only financial assurance strategy your insureds may have for Legionnaires’ Liabilities?
