When should a broker recommend that a client amend their existing risk management plan?

The correct answer is B. When changing a manufacturing process . A risk management plan must be modified when the client’s operations change in a way that creates new exposures, increases existing exposures, or makes current controls inadequate. A manufacturing process is central to the nature of the risk. If the process changes, the client may introduce new machinery, raw materials, chemicals, heat processes, pressure systems, production methods, quality-control issues, product liability exposures, pollution hazards, business interruption dependencies, or employee safety concerns. This type of operational change can affect property, liability, equipment breakdown, products liability, business interruption, automobile, and environmental exposures. Renewal is a natural review point, but waiting until annual renewal may be too late if the change is already underway. Hiring one new staff member may require some HR or safety review, but it is not necessarily a major insurance exposure change unless the role is material. Financial statements can help assess values and profitability, but publication of statements alone is not the reason to amend the risk management plan. The broker should advise amendment when the risk itself changes.
