Certificates of insurance, which should be collected from each and every vendor that comes on to an association’s property, is a representation of who the named insured is, the effective dates, types and limits of coverage, as well as the names of the insurance companies that have issued the policies.Additionally, a certificate of insurance will spell out the description of operations, locations, vehicles, and exclusions added by endorsement, as well as any special provisions.It is important to note that a certificate of insurance is issued as a matter of information only and confers no rights upon the certificate holder UNLESS the certificate holder specifically requests additional named insured status, in which case the certificate holder would be afforded those same rights. Ideally, it is in the association’s best interest to obtain additional named insured status whenever possible to afford you those same protections.Keep in mind that information contained on a certificate of insurance is a “snapshot in time” which may or may not be in force at the time of a loss.

It is important that certificates are collected from each vendor to protect the interest of the Association in the event of a claim. This way, the association knows what coverage is in place and who to contact should anything ever develop.

Additionally, for Associations that carry workers’ compensation insurance, it is vital that they maintain records of these certificates to avoid being a surcharged at audit for exposures that were not covered by the vendors.
