1. Losses should be advised by telephone as soon as possible. Any occurrence which may result in a claim should be reported. To assist in keeping adequate records of the total cost of risk, losses falling within any excess or deductible should also be reported. In the latter case, only brief details are required and not full claims documentation.
   
   
2. Complete a claim form and submit to RBS Katz Breskal with supporting documents as quickly as possible.

4. Never admit liability for any incident and do not negotiate with third parties. Any correspondence received from third parties should be sent to RBS Katz Breskal without delay. Do not correspond with third parties unless you have been authorised to do so by RBS Katz Breskal.
   
   
5. In the event of a summons, prompt notification must be given to RBS Katz Breskal.
   
   
6. Property which is the subject of any claim is required to be protected from further damage in the same way as reasonable precautions are required to prevent losses.
   Minimise the extent of any loss and act as if uninsured.
   
   
7. Keep damaged items or salvage for inspection.
   
   
8. Notify the Police immediately in the event of death, riot, theft or arson.

10. Collate circumstances / facts surrounding the cause of loss.
    
    
11. Injuries sustained at work must be reported to the Commissioner for Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases (COID) in addition to advising RBS Katz Breskal if the employee is covered by the Group Personal Accident Programme.
