1 INTRODUCTION

This research report aims to critically analyse the insured's duty to take reasonable
precautions to avoid loss or damage to the object of risk in the context of insurance
law. The degree to which an insured's own conduct causes or may cause the risk
insured against is a significant factor that insurers consider when assessing a risk
and their subsequent liability. Most insurance providers place a duty on the insured
to take reasonable precautions, which is a standard clause in insurance policies.
The purpose of this research is to distinguish the insured's duty to take reasonable
precautions from other legal concepts and to provide examples that explain this duty.
