Abstract

This paper reviews briefly the concepts of total loss control and some of the factors of business interruption and consequential loss. The various features of these concepts are recognised as contributors to the objective: “Efficient productivity with greater profitability” (Fletcher and Douglas, 1971(a)). Any interruption to business because of fire, or any other agency, is regarded as a failure of one, or more aspects of loss control. Case studies are presented that attempt to identify failures of loss control and it is clear that no single feature of a loss control system is wholly responsible for a failure although it is clear that single features can be a major causal agency.
