NO ONE WANTS TO EXPERIENCE THE HARDSHIP THAT LEADS TO MAKING AN INSURANCE CLAIM.
IAG invests in programs to reduce the incidence
of crime; make our roads, homes and workplaces safer; help prevent fires; and reduce our
environmental impact because the fewer
risks there are, the
better for everyone.
Most people only think about insurance when they pay a bill or have to make a claim. In my job, we help employers to spot health and safety risks in their workplace that could lead to a claim, and find ways to minimise the problem.
Its like a cycle the more we can help prevent accidents and injuries from happening, the safer everybody is, and the lower insurance premiums can be.
This year, weve been really proud to help Mission Australia train their people in health and safety, with a new online program. Its an addition to a claims management project that has seen Mission Australia reduce their premium by helping people get back to work after an injury.
