• Marsh & McLennan Agency (MMA) provides assistance to employers in evaluating workplace safety exposures and/or conducting surveys, which may not reveal every hazard, exposure and/or violation of safety practices. Inspections conducted by MMA do not result in any guarantee that the workplace, operations, machinery, appliances or equipment are safe or in compliance with applicable regulations. Appropriate protection is ultimately the responsibility of the employer. This report may contain confidential information.

• The services performed by MMA on this project have been conducted with that level of care or skill ordinarily exercised by reputable members of the profession, practicing in the same locality under similar budget and time constraints. No other warranty is expressed or implied.
