To assist you in controlling potential life safety losses and property fire exposures, C&F loss control consultants are prepared to assist you with general and hazardous stock storage practices, including special hazards like spray painting
and welding. They will carefully review extinguishing and sprinkler system requirements,
emergency planning and alarm/heat smoke detection systems.
Loss Analysis
Experience is an excellent teacher. C&F loss control specialists examine and evaluate your previous losses to detect hidden cause and effect relationships. OSHA recordable injuries are used to calculate incidence rates which are compared
to Bureau of Labor statistics. Armed with all of this information, C&F loss control specialists make specific recommendations to assist you to reduce future accidents and thereby increase operating efficiency, and ultimately, bottom line results.
Ergonomics
By evaluating the ergonomic exposures associated with various operations, C&F can suggest controls and programs to assist you to reduce losses. Ergonomic issues typically arise in connection with materials handling, repetitive motion tasks and work station design.
Occupational Health Services
Today, considerable emphasis is placed on occupational health hazards. Employers and employees alike are concerned about workplace exposure and contaminants
like industrial dust, mists and fumes, as well as noise and temperature extremes. C&F loss control teams test for these contaminants and measure ventilation requirements. Recommended procedures are developed for controlling or eliminating exposures to reduce the likelihood of injury.

Virtually every area of fleet operation is reviewed including driver selection and qualification, accident investigation, driver training and preventive maintenance. Because no two fleets are alike, we'll tailor our recommendations to your particular
needs.
