Risk Management

For most companies, it is usually impractical to employ a full-time risk manager. Therefore, it is very important to engage an agent, broker or consultant with risk management expertise, particularly in the explosives industry. We will assist you in the risk management process of:

• Identifying hazards
• Evaluating the potential effect of a loss
• Developing methods of controlling the loss
• Dealing with the financial impact of a loss
• Implementing the insurance
• Monitoring the policy selected

Assessing the above will assist you in making the right decision with respect to the proper coverage, limits, deductibles and any other important conditions of your program.

Program Administration

In partnership with its underwriters, AGA has brought together a group of experts to administer its explosives program. This group includes members from both the insurance and explosives industry and gives AGA the experience and capacity it needs to develop essential insurance programs and negotiate special preferred rates for its clients.

Experienced claims staff specializing in the explosives industry direct proven independent field adjusters to efficiently handle claims. Cost containment is a priority so our underwriters provide 24-7 claims reporting.
