Loss Mitigation Action Plans and Freeze Hazards
by James Hale, ARM-E, ARM-P Dec. 3, 2015

Dec. 3, 2015

A vital step in all Loss Control and Risk Management programs is to have mitigation plans in place. The attached document provides mitigation guidance on a variety of hazards commonly faced by our members. One timely item extracted from the attached document covers one of CORSA members most common and, unfortunately, most expensive hazards: "Freeze: Any interruption of power during cold weather is a freeze hazard. Taking proactive steps like those listed below will help you reduce and avoid damage. * Building closures. Make sure all doors, windows, shutters, and dampers that can be closed are in place and secured to minimize heat loss. * Snow and ice removal. Check equipment and snow removal contractors. Remember that the roof may need to be cleared. * Anticipate flooding. If the premises may be flooded as a result of severe cold weather, take precautions and plan for this eventuality now. Move susceptible equipment or stock to an alternate location if feasible. Check operation of pumps or other dewatering equipment. * Collect and circulate a list of emergency telephone numbers. Distribute them to everyone in the organization who may need them. * Heating systems. If backup electric power is not available, make arrangements to obtain portable heating units which do not require electric power. * Protect piping. Piping systems which could freeze must be checked. Be sure that heat tracing is energized. Be prepared to supply backup power to heat tracing systems or drain the piping. Pay particular attention to sprinkler systems. Any change in the readiness status of your sprinkler systems should be reviewed by your local fire department!"
