Major Projects

General Liability Size of Risk Rating Supplement

In 2021, we introduced an optional plan, the General Liability Size of Risk Rating Supplement.  Our clients are very excited about the new risk rating tool, which takes risk size, as measured by exposure amount, into account to reflect differences in loss potential as risk size changes.  

General Liability Classification, Rules and Forms Update

As part of our mission to keep the ISO General Liability program responsive to the evolving loss exposures of today’s business operations, we’ve undertaken one of the most significant revisions to the program in years. It includes over 55 new classifications and over 130 classifications combined into about 60.
