It
is the practice of the Institution to require that all companies
performing work on Institution property provide the Institution
with Certificates of Insurance. The Certificates of Insurance will
provide WHOI assurance that the company has the following amounts
and types of insurance in effect:
| Workers
Compensation |
$100,000
Bodily injury by accident
$100,000 Bodily injury by disease
$500,000 Bodily injury by disease per policy limit |
| Comprehensive
General Liability |
$1,000,000
per occurrence/$1,000,000 aggregate |
| Auto
Liability |
$1,000,000
per occurrence, combined single limit, Bodily injury and property
damage |
Note:
Additional insurance coverage may be required in specific instances.
The
Certificates of Insurance shall also provide WHOI with: policy effective
date, policy expiration date, policy number, companies affording
insurance, producer, insured, certificate holder (Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution), and assurance that at least 30 days notice to WHOI
will be given upon canellation of insurance.
Exceptions
to this policy will not be made unless circumstances exist that
warrant alternative consideration. In such cases the company or
person unable to obtain proper amounts of insurance may be required
to sign and agree to hold WHOI harmless for any potential or realized
liability.
