The key to keeping costs at a reasonable level in Washington State is to prevent injuries from occurring in the first place. By implementing the recommendations we have outlined, we are not guaranteeing that injuries will not occur, but we believe that with these items in place, they will give you a better chance at preventing costly claims. Our loss prevention service is advisory only and we assume no responsibility for management or control of customer safety activities nor for implementation of recommended corrective measures. This report is based on information supplied by the client and/or observations of conditions and practices at the time of the visit. We have not tried to identify all hazards. We do not warrant that requirements of any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance have or have not been met.
