Explanation:
Peter should advise the president that removing equipment breakdown insurance would be a poor risk decision for a business storing meats and seafood. Western Grocers depends on refrigeration, electrical systems, compressors, motors, control panels, pressure equipment, and possibly boilers or other mechanical systems. If any of this equipment suddenly breaks down, the loss may not be covered by an ordinary commercial property policy because standard property insurance responds to insured perils such as fire or theft, not necessarily mechanical or electrical breakdown.
The largest exposure is not only repair of the damaged equipment. The more serious loss could be spoilage of refrigerated or frozen meat and seafood, interruption of warehouse operations, extra expense to move stock, emergency repairs, loss of income, customer contract problems, and reputational damage. For an import- export food distributor, even a short refrigeration failure can create a major financial loss.
Peter should explain that EBI supports business continuity by covering sudden and accidental breakdown of insured equipment and related losses, depending on policy wording. Instead of deleting coverage, Peter should recommend reviewing limits, deductibles, maintenance procedures, inspection records, and risk- control improvements to manage premium.

Explanation:
Andrew should explain that hiring is a risk management issue because employees directly affect job-site safety, workmanship quality, liability exposure, and claims frequency. Renovating a run-down office building creates hazards such as structural instability, demolition work, tools and equipment use, electrical or plumbing work, falls, damage to existing property, and injury to workers or third parties. Poor hiring can increase all of these risks.
Andrew should advise the contractor to use a structured employee selection process. This should include verifying trade qualifications, licences, safety training, employment history, references, and experience with similar renovation projects. If employees will drive company vehicles, motor vehicle record checks should be considered. If employees will access client premises, tools, materials, or secure areas, background checks may be appropriate where legally permitted.
The contractor should also use written job descriptions, documented safety policies, orientation training, supervision, probationary review, and records of training. These controls reduce the chance of accidents, theft, defective work, and liability claims. They also show insurers that the contractor is professionally managed.
