1. The facility's older section has frayed electrical wiring.
2. The business owner has a documented history of exaggerating the value of damaged inventory on previous insurance claims.
3. Since securing a comprehensive property policy, the site manager has stopped arming the security system at night.

Based on the strict definitions of perils and hazards in risk management, which of the following statements accurately classify these risk elements? (Select all that apply)

  1. The owner's history of exaggerating inventory values represents a moral hazard because it involves intentional dishonesty that increases the potential severity of a claim.Cevap
  2. The severe windstorms common to the region are classified as perils because they are active, direct causes of loss to the property.Cevap
  3. C
    The frayed electrical wiring is classified as a peril because it is a physical source that actively initiates potential property damage.
  4. D
    The manager's failure to arm the security system is classified as a physical hazard because it directly relates to the tangible security equipment of the building.

Cevap

The correct classifications recognize that the owner's history of exaggeration is a moral hazard, and the severe windstorms are perils.
The accurate statements correctly map the insurance definitions to the scenario: intentional dishonesty (exaggerating claims) is a moral hazard, and the active cause of property damage (windstorm) is a peril.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the owner's history of exaggerating claims.
Identified as intentional dishonesty and fraud.
Character defects and dishonest actions that increase loss exposure perfectly define a moral hazard.
2
Analyze the severe windstorms in the region.
Identified as an active, direct cause of property damage.
The active cause of a loss is defined as a peril.
3
Evaluate the frayed electrical wiring classification.
Determined it is a physical hazard, not a peril.
Wiring is a tangible condition that increases the chance of a loss (fire). It does not act as the cause of loss itself.
4
Evaluate the failure to arm the security system.
Determined it is a morale hazard, not a physical hazard.
The failure results from an attitude of carelessness or indifference induced by having insurance coverage, which specifically defines a morale hazard.
