Managing risk in fatal mishap
The Missouri Smallflows newsletter reprinted an article from Alteris Public Risk Solutions outlining a situation in which a landlord requested a lender-required inspection of an older onsite system at a rental property. The inspector noticed the outer diameter of the concrete lid on the concrete riser was chipped and spalled. Because the customer was not present and had pre-paid for the inspection, the inspector's office left a voicemail message about the hazard. The inspector never received a return phone call.
