About the course
Warehousing operations combine significant property values with complex liability exposures that require careful underwriting and risk management. This course examines the foundations of Commercial Property coverage, Commercial General Liability Coverage A, and warehouse risk management to help brokers build comprehensive insurance programs for storage and distribution businesses. You'll learn how building, stock, equipment, and property of others are classified, while exploring warehouse-specific exposures such as high-pile storage, sprinkler protection, inventory valuation, forklift operations, loading docks, cargo theft, spoilage, business interruption, and disaster recovery planning. The course also reviews how Coverage A of the Commercial General Liability policy responds to third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from warehouse operations, emphasizing occurrence triggers, contractual liability, pollution considerations, and other key exclusions. By the end of this course, you'll be better equipped to identify warehouse property and liability exposures, recommend appropriate insurance solutions, and develop underwriting submissions that accurately reflect operational risks and protect clients from both physical losses and third-party claims.
