We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with an important message about: business interruption insurance
When we highlight the importance of business interruption insurance, we often use examples of significant losses caused by floods, fire, storms or other catastrophes. Business interruption insurance IS important in these scenarios, but often the outages businesses may experience are caused by something much smaller or more mundane. For example, a bakery that needs to replace an oven from overseas, or perhaps something you have even less control over such as an event that impacts your supplier or supply chain!
Farming: the most dangerous game?
Forget even just the impact of nature or the economy on farmers, the Australian Farm Deaths & Injuries Media Monitors Snapshot by the University of Sydney points to farming as the most dangerous occupation in Australia. A total of 63 on farm deaths were reported for last year, with nine of those involving a child under 15 years of age. Tractors, mobile-plant/machinery and quads were involved in 24 of the reports.
According to Safe Work Australia, the agriculture, forestry and fishing industry is the greatest risk of fatality, ahead of both the construction and mining industries.
