Additional Exposures Instructions ACORD 131 Part 1



AGENCY CUSTOMER ID

ACORD 131 Agency Customer ID

5 - ARE EXPLOSIVES, CAUSTICS, FLAMMABLES OR OTHER DANGEROUS CARGO HANDLED?

If Yes list type of materials handled and any safety procedures.

Caustic does not mean material with a biting wit in this usage. It means a material capable of burning, corroding, dissolving, or eating away by chemical action.

Flammable is a material which ignites easily and burns rapidly with a flame, or a material with flash point below an arbitrary temperature limit of 50 degrees C or 122 degrees F.

Here is a useful link to OSHA's web page on flammable materials.

Are vehicles used as independent contractors for Uber or LYFT carrying passengers for a fee? Yep.

7 - ANY UNITS NOT INSURED BY UNDERLYING POLICIES? - A good example would be my farm truck. From time to time is is not licensed and is only driven on the farm. Many construction vehicles fall under this same use.

9 - ARE HIRED AND NON-OWNED COVERAGES PROVIDED? - You just need to check your primary auto liability policy for this. List the carrier, policy number, effective dates and limits.
