Working Group Loss Prevention

We provide Members with information and advice to enable proper management of risk to the benefit of both the Member and the Client. The group’s activities include the preparation of Loss Prevention Alerts, Loss Prevention Guidance, Client Guides and Newsletter articles about current and emerging legal, contractual and insurance issues.

If you have any feedback on the AGS LPWG Guidance or the Loss Prevention Alerts, please contact ags@ags.org.uk

    • Magazine articles
    • Loss Prevention Guidance
    • Loss Prevention Alerts
    • Client Guides, and
    • AGS Publications and Position Papers.
