OCIP – Construction Insurance for Schools
An owner controlled insurance program (OCIP) is a consolidated insurance and risk management program implemented for a single construction project.
Recent OCIP projects:
The OCIP program “pools” all construction project participants – the member, its general contractor and subcontractors – under the same insurance “umbrella” for workers’ compensation, general liability and pollution coverage. In addition to providing standard coverage and high limits with a financially secure carrier, the program offers safety and risk management services, oversight and solutions that benefit all project participants.
While cost savings are always the focus of an OCIP, the following features are significant program enhancements:
