CIC Risk Management Briefings
The CIC Risk Management Briefings are a series of free guidance documents produced by the CIC Liability Panel. The briefings examine current areas of concern in relation to liability and are released to keep industry informed of current issues that can have impact on them.
The Liability Panel was set up by CIC to consider liability, legal and insurance issues. The panel drafts and publishes standard form contract documentation for consultants as well as publishing the freely available Risk Management Briefings. A full suite of CIC Risk Management Briefings can be downloaded for free by clicking on the image below.
Construction Industry Council (CIC) have written a number of new briefings this year covering the building Safety Act to Consultant appointments, NEC environments to personal liability of Employees, shown below.
The new Risk Management Briefing "Personal Liability of Employees", details professional indemnity insurance (PII), when employees may be covered (and when not) how it impacts employers and employees, what employers should do and how employees can protect themselves.
Nasir Khan, Chair of the Liability Panel said: "Employers and employees need to be aware of the risks that can create personal liability in various ways. The CIC Liability Panel's risk management briefing on Personal Liability of Employees provides professional consultant to exercise a standard of care to carefully review and understand the terms of their contracts, maintain professional standards, and consider obtaining appropriate insurance coverage to mitigate potential personal liability risks."
