Account brief

## What to know

**Describe the complete process**

Extraction and post-processing methods with a plain-language process flow

**Separate damage from recovery**

The replacement cost of a machine does not explain the time needed to restore operations.

**Match the documents to the request**

Property, equipment breakdown, business income, general liability, product liability, environmental, cargo, workers compensation, and other conversations may arise depending on the facts.

## Describe the complete process

- Extraction and post-processing methods with a plain-language process flow

- Solvents, gases, chemicals, quantities, storage, transfer, and waste handling

- Equipment manufacturer, model, age, listing, installation, controls, and maintenance

- Rooms, ventilation, electrical systems, detection, alarms, suppression, and shutdown controls

- Permits, inspections, commissioning, and approval records from the authority having jurisdiction

- Throughput, maximum values, bottlenecks, spare capacity, and outsourced alternatives

## Separate damage from recovery

Include lead time, installation, validation, utilities, dependent equipment, product loss, alternate capacity, testing, licensing, and customer consequences.

## Match the documents to the request

The broker should identify the requested decision and compare the actual forms and exclusions.

## Show how the controls work during an ordinary shift

A list of equipment and safeguards is more useful when it is connected to daily responsibility. Identify who starts and stops the process, checks ventilation and alarms, handles solvents or gases, records maintenance, responds to an abnormal condition, and has authority to shut down the operation.

Reconcile the written process with the equipment list, room layout, permits, inspection records, maintenance history, and production schedule. Explain any temporary equipment, bypassed process, overdue work, or planned change before the submission reaches a market.

- Provide manufacturer and installation records for critical equipment

- Describe inspection, maintenance, alarm, and shutdown responsibilities

- Identify bottlenecks, spare capacity, outsourced alternatives, and lead times

- Connect equipment and product values to the correct entity and location

Important insurance and legal information
CARMA's website provides general information only. It is not insurance, legal, tax, regulatory, underwriting, safety, risk-management, or claims advice. Nothing on this site is a quote, binder, policy, coverage determination, legal opinion, or promise of eligibility, availability, pricing, terms, limits, or placement.

Only an issued policy and its endorsements can provide coverage, and their actual terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions control. Sending information, following a link, or speaking with CARMA does not bind coverage, change a policy, or create authority to act for an insurer unless an authorized party confirms that authority in writing.

Do not rely on this website to report a claim, request a policy change, satisfy a notice requirement, or meet a deadline. Use the instructions in the applicable policy or written communication. Laws, licensing, appetite, carrier participation, and external sources can change, so confirm time-sensitive matters with CARMA, the controlling source, and qualified advisers.
