North believes that well targeted loss prevention initiatives contribute to claims avoidance.
The Club's commitment to service is exemplified by its loss prevention service, which aims to provide direct support to individual Members whilst providing general guidance to all Members.
North's loss prevention service provides Members with information upon which they can base their own loss prevention and safety programmes. It includes an extensive range of practical loss prevention guides, briefings and other publications produced specifically for Members, together with topical information, training and other loss prevention tools.
The loss prevention function looks at the software, which relates to the people and systems involved in the operation of the ship. North adopts a holistic view by combining this with a survey function relating to the hardware, which is the actual condition of the ship and its equipment. The survey and loss prevention departments work closely together, and liaise continuously with the other departments in the Club.
Up-to-date information about topical issues is provided by the Industry News service and loss prevention briefing pages on the website. Information about other publications and courses available is provided on the publication and training pages.
