Industrial All Risk Insurance

A company with total value of risks of at least RM50 million has an alternative to protect its insurance needs with the Industrial All Risks (IAR) Insurance as compared to the traditional Fire Insurance and its related Consequential Loss Insurance

Cover
As the name suggests, IAR policy is an "all risks" form of insurance which cover not only all the "named perils" of Fire Insurance but also extend to cover "accidental damage" which could not be covered under the fire insurance, subject only to specific exclusions of the policy.

Examples of Coverage in the IAR

• Theft of equipment, plant & machinery and all contents including stocks of every description kept at Insured's premises can be covered under the IAR policy instead of a separate Burglary Insurance.
• Equipment of plant & machinery in transit within the premises is covered under the IAR policy.
• Accidental damage to plate glass or any fragile item or to movable equipment e.g. forklift, hoist, crane etc by collision or overturning or impact is covered under the IAR policy (but not the Fire Policy).
• Other accidental damage not specifically excluded from the Policy.

Fire Consequential Loss Insurance

Whilst the material damage Fire Policy provides protection and compensation to an Insured against physical loss or damage to the property, it does not provide any protection against the "after effects" of such loss; namely, the loss or reduction of the ability of the Insured to maintain business at its pre-damage level due to the fact that his buildings and/or machinery have been lost or damaged, thus restricting or possibly halting the operations of the company.

Cover

The Fire Consequential Loss policy covers loss of Gross Profit following an indemnifiable peril (the perils usually follow that of the Fire policy) and is measured on the reduction in turnover compared to the same period in the last twelve months and applying the Rate of Gross Profit. Cover also extends to include Additional Expenditure reasonably incurred to minimise the loss of Gross Profit. The costs of non productive wages can be included either as treating them as a standing charge, or taking out more specific covers such as Dual Wages. Professional accountants' charges to produce certified details for the Insured's presentation of a claim could be included.

Interest Insured
• Gross Profit
• Wages/ Salaries
• Rental
• Auditors' Fees

Indemnity Period
The indemnity period is the maximum period during which the policy is to provide an indemnity following any damage and is selected by the policyholder. It should be sufficient to allow for the premises to be rebuilt and re-equipped and for the premises to be restored fully to normal conditions in every way. The indemnity period of 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months or higher can be selected.

Information Required for Quotation
Rate applicable on Fire Consequential Loss follows rate of the Fire Insurance
Sum Insured of interest insured and the indemnity period selected are the major factors affecting premium costs

HEALTH INSURANCE

Importance of Health insurance
HEALTH is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity as defined by WHO (World Health Organisation).

Nowadays, it is necessary that you and your loved one have a health insurance policy to protect against any serious and financially disastrous losses that arises from an accident or illness. The escalating health care costs due to inflation and medical advances should alert everyone on the importance and significance of health insurance.
Although we try to live a healthy lifestyle, however, illnesses do not discriminate between healthy or unhealthy, young or old, male or female. Furthermore, companies may only cover their employee only and do not extend coverage to the employee's family. Therefore, it is imperative that each individual should take health care covers seriously to ensure that one is adequately covered in times of need.
Thus, there is a need for HEALTH INSURANCE coverage that provides for the payment of benefits as a result of accident and illness. As the proverb say "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure".


We offers Hospitalisation and Surgical products that are affordable and comprehensive with extensive coverage for the Insured and their loved ones to assure them of the protection against unforeseen circumstances.
