Legionellosis: Managing Your Liability Risk
by Alexander Robertson, IV, Esq.
 The consequences of an outbreak of Legionnaire’s disease to a hospitality client can be devastating. The financial cost of performing a Level 2 response often includes taking rooms out of service or potentially closing the facility during remediation, because the high temperatures and chemical treatments traditionally used to kill the bacteria preclude the use of potable water by guests and employees. Additionally, rubber or silicone gaskets and seals in shower heads and faucets must be disinfected or replaced, as the biofilm that builds up on them in plumbing fixtures tends to amplify the growth of Legionella. In addition to the remediation costs and business interruption, other losses include the stigma associated with any adverse media publicity of an outbreak as well as potential third party liability claims for illnesses or deaths sustained by guests contracting the disease. Thus, a vigorous risk management program is crucial for the hospitality client to manage this risk.

Preventing Employee Theft
by Jim Stover
 One of the leading loss sources in the hospitality industry is employee theft. Management must be constantly vigilant to recognize this type of crime and be committed to prosecute theft to the fullest extent. Simply dismissing an employee without prosecuting an alleged offense sends the message that your property is an easy target. To develop controls and procedures to protect the hotel’s assets, we must first focus on the motivational factors for employee theft:
- Financial Need
- Rationalization
- The Perception of a Risk-Free Environment
Losses due to employee theft may be greatly impacted by instituting procedures that reduce the opportunities for theft and create a high element of risk for the potential thief. Some of these essential elements are:
- Written Policies
- Cash on Hand
- Bank Deposits Made the Next Business Day
- and others
