Smart Grid – Future Electric Grid
The subject of this research work is the role of insurance industry in management of environmental risks, in every environment there are risks that affect man and their inhabitants, this condition affects our behaviour and development as the natural endowment and resource that we like on stem from it. Most activities man does more especially in our environment are causing one environmental pollution or the other as a result. Environment degradation has been noticed most especially in some operational companies. People engage in a lot of activities in an organizational setting, a lot of injury and accident occur in the organization and these activities also constitute unnecessary health hazards to people and their environment.
The study actually wants to x-ray the role of insurance industry in management of environmental risk exposed to an organizational setting. The researcher made use of primary and secondary method of data collection and major instrument used in ascertaining information was a structured questionnaire which is designed to collect major information needed for the study. The researcher also used likert scalling statistical model in analyzing the data collected and Z-test in testing hypothesis postulated. The researcher find out that environment manager most often use various insurance policies in management of risks exposed to the industry. Recommendation was made based on the findings that proper insurance policies should be adopted on the process of managing these risks.
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
In every Environment various activities carried out by man has caused a lot of hazard, to man, this environmental activities constitute health hazard to environment, such environment is in an organization setting like insurance industry. The hazard has resulted to a lot of sickness, disease, death etc to the inhabitant.
Public nuisance for the inhabitant is been resulted form noise of machines. The management of risk in the environment has adopted by various government and private organs on managing the risk of the said environment.
In this aspect there are some activities in the environment which brought about pollution on different forms which causes damages to the health.
We can understand that security protection is the right of citizens. Good health is better than wealth. A health nation is a wealthy nation, In the production industry and others, most of the activities result to health hazards which constitute some wounds to workers through accident and inadequate protect resulting form improper risk management.
It is also necessary to evaluate the expected role of adequate risk management through the help of insurance industries and its services like accident insurance, Health insurance, fire insurance, fidelity insurance etc. in order to reduce the loss and compensate those affected.
1.2 Statement Of The Problems
The risk on environment such as in insurance industries has caused a lot of harm to people and their inhabitants even to the process government and even private bodies of various levels have implanted, various ways and strategies to enable them handle this ugly issue.
The impact of the losses is always very high. The risk in the environment and its impact is equally very high. It has suggested that all the effort has not been released. It is because on this possibilities of identifying various types of environmental risk.
1.3 Objective Of The Study
The objective of this study are as follows.
To identify various types of environmental risk in this study.
To identify the impact of such risk on the inhabitant of the environment.
To find out various ways of management of environmental risk.
To know the role insurance industry plays in the management of this risk.
1.4 Research Questions
What are the problems of environmental hazard?
