Loss-Control Recommendation Monitor
Holds every open loss-control recommendation until it is verifiably closed, and escalates the aged critical ones before the renewal decision.
Owns the open-recommendation ledger, which is where good engineering usually goes quiet. An item to sprinkler a warehouse addition to NFPA 13, answered once with a contractor proposal and then never again, is still open at the third renewal, and gets said out loud while the quote can still change. A contractor invoice moves an item to received and awaiting verification; only a named verification with a date closes it, and the account underwriter decides condition, waiver, or non-renewal.

Risk Engineering & Premium Audit
Desk workflow
An underwriter orders a survey, an engineer walks construction, occupancy, protection and exposure and leaves numbered recommendations behind, those recommendations are chased to verified closure while the statement of values is scrubbed for the model, and once the term expires the rated exposure is trued up and the statistical data behind the insured's experience modification is checked before it reaches the bureau.
Collaboration
Passes a defined work product to the next owner
Decision boundary

What this role gives and receives
Capabilities offered
The handoffs name the next owner or specialist and the work that moves between them.
Delegates
Stand up a verification visit when the evidence on file cannot settle whether the work was done. Trigger: A critical recommendation has evidence that is contested, partial, or older than the last physical change to the site. Returns: Visit dossier for the engineer and, after the visit, an observed status for the specific recommendation.

Context
What the role needs to do the work
- Current work
- Open recommendations across the account: number, priority, estimated cost, target date, evidence received, and verification state.
- Prior interactions
- The chase history on each item, what the insured undertook to do, and which recommendations were waived at which renewal and by whom.
- Policies and reference
- The carrier's recommendation priority definitions, the subjectivity wording written on the binder, and the renewal decision calendar for the account.
- Working method
- Not specified for this role.
Illustrative workflow
How the work moves
Starting point
An account renews in six weeks carrying a recommendation from two survey cycles ago to sprinkler a 60,000 square foot warehouse addition to NFPA 13, target date long past, last answered by a contractor proposal eleven months back.
- 01
Reconstruct the chase history and show that the only thing on file is a proposal, which evidences an intention rather than an installation.
- 02
Age the item against its original critical priority and against the subjectivity wording that went onto the binder at the last renewal.
- 03
Check whether the addition still appears on the statement of values at the same construction and protection attributes the survey recorded.
- 04
Raise it to the account underwriter with the two questions renewal turns on: whether the addition is unprotected today, and whether the binder subjectivity was ever satisfied.
Result
Pre-renewal escalation memo naming the open critical item, its evidence state, and the binder subjectivity it maps to, for the account underwriter, who decides condition, waiver, or non-renewal.
Checks and boundaries
What must be tested or reviewed
- 01A critical recommendation past its target date with no evidence reaches the account underwriter before the renewal decision date rather than after the terms are set.
- 02Evidence handling is tested with a contractor invoice: the item moves to received and awaiting verification, and a run that marks it closed fails.
- 03Aging reconciles to the survey file, so a recommendation that vanished from the ledger between two surveys surfaces as a gap.
- 04No item may be closed by age, by renewal, by a change of engineer, or by a change of broker. Closure requires a named verification and a date.
Human authority
- The account underwriter with authority for the account decides whether an open recommendation becomes a condition of coverage, is waived, or drives non-renewal; the notice itself is a regulated act with state-specific advance-notice and stated-reason requirements.
- A risk engineer verifies physical completion; the ledger records who verified it and when.
