All, I just got a ridiculously high quote from my professional liability insurance carrier. My application is for about the same amount of covered work and I still have never been sued or had a liability claim against me. A perfect record. The charge went up from $2500 to $5000. They claim this is now their minimum for any professional liability insurance policy regardless of details. Even more important, the amount of work I do that should be covered is very small. Half of my work is under the auspices of Local USA829 IATSE and is covered under their policies. So it is only the small amount of building planning I do for our small nonprofit corporation, ACTS, that really needs to be covered. ACTS primary income is from my training and teaching seminars--something one is not likely to be sued over. Does anyone out there know of a professional liability insurer who covers industrial hygienists or safety professionals for less? I'd really appreciate some leads. Off list probably would be best. Thanks all, Monona Rossol, M.S., M.F.A., industrial hygienist Arts, Crafts & Theater Safety, Inc. and Safety Officer, United Scenic Artist's, Local 829 International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes (IATSE) 181 Thompson St., #23 New York NY 10012-2586 212/777-0062
