ICS05 - Engineering Insurance (Surveyor) Mock Test 14

Engineering Insurance involves risk retention, reinsurance, inspections, machinery, construction equipment, and electronic equipment. Insurers aim to design an optimal reinsurance programme that balances retained losses against reinsurance costs. Machinery Loss of Profits insurance is linked to Machinery Breakdown coverage and protects against financial consequences of insured machinery damage. Engineers conduct inspections for risk improvement, loss prevention, and pre-acceptance purposes. CAR and EAR policies may include marine and transit risks, while CPM covers mobile construction equipment. Project policies generally provide broad all-risk protection. EEI includes material damage, external data media, and increased cost of working sections. Proper excess levels help eliminate routine minor claims and improve risk management.
