Certificates of Insurance

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.

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 cancellation of insurance. WHOI must be named additional insured with a waiver of subrogation.

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.
