Partnering for Safer Roads during Distracted Driving Awareness Month

It’s not uncommon to hear your phone chime while you are driving, followed by the temptation to glance away from the road for a quick peek. It only takesone moment, but those precious seconds not spent actively monitoring the road in front of your vehicle could lead to disaster — and serious losses.

Distracted driving continues to lead to unnecessary accidents, claiming the lives of thousands of Americans each year. And when a company driver gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, they have the responsibility to avoid personal distractions in order to make the roads safer for everyone.

During April’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Federated Insurance encourages employers to consider their employees’ driving behaviors and promote a strong safe driving risk management culture at their business. Read more...

All Industries Risk Management Academy Offered by Federated Insurance

Federated Insurance is offering complimentary risk management training for all industries on August 2-4, 2022. Through this valuable session, you will discover methods you can use immediately to help protect profits by reducing risk at your business.

Companies that are the most successful at controlling losses and protecting profits have integrated risk management into their overall company culture. Many have designated a key person as their risk manager. This person is supported by your company’s top management and is both responsible and accountable for identifying loss exposures and implementing risk management solutions.

This seminar’s objective is to help your risk manager learn the exposures specific to your industry, connect with peers from across the country and apply these best practices within your business.

You can learn more by viewing a brief video about the Risk Management Academy. To reserve your spot in the upcoming session or for more information, please contact [email protected] or call (800)533-0472 Ext. 455-5958. Or, visit Federated's website.

Partner with Federated Insurance To Ignite Safety – Not Flames

Commercial property fires are on the rise. What’s causing this? Industry experts are often seeing these fires sparked by the deferred maintenance of buildings, equipment, and electrical systems as well as delayed inspections of sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, etc. Some of this is due to supply chain issues. We also recognize business owners are faced with challenges, such as employee shortages and time.

Fires at businesses are more common than you think.  They can cause considerable property damage and endanger the lives of you, your employees, and others. The costs are also substantial — these fires cause an estimated annual average of more than $2 billion dollars in property losses.¹

To help prevent fires, we encourage you to leverage these value-added association member benefits:

• Video that shares how to help prevent the devastating effects of commercial fires.
• Fire safety meeting talking points to help clients customize a conversation with employees to meet their business’s needs.
• Standard fire prevention and safety checklist to help clients facilitate a walkthrough at their business.
