Self Insurance
The purpose of the Self Insurance Program is to encourage good risk management practices at the departmental level by offsetting losses to individual departments that fall under the CURIE property policy deductible, when appropriate risk controls are in place.
The Risk Management Office maintains a small fund to offset losses that are less than our deductible on a first come, first served basis and the department will be expected to contribute $250 towards replacement.
This program applies to Trent owned property that has been procured with operating or research funds. Personal property or property procured with ancillary funds are not covered by this program.
If Trent property is lost or damaged:
- Immediately report the loss or damage to Security.
- Document the time, date and circumstances of the loss or damage. Photos are helpful to support a claim.
- If electronic equipment has been damaged by water, do not attempt to test the equipment yourself as you may cause further damage. Information Technology or the restoration company, if retained by Facilities Management, will have them professionally tested.
