For claims within its insurance program, the Company retains the risk of loss, up to certain limits, for matters related to automobile liability, general liability (including damages associated with underground facility locating services), workers’ compensation, and employee group health. With regard to losses occurring in fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016, the Company retains the risk of loss up to $1.0 million on a per occurrence basis for automobile liability, general liability, and workers’ compensation. The Company has maintained this same level of retention for fiscal 2017. These retention amounts are applicable to all of the states in which the Company operates, except with respect to workers’ compensation insurance in two states in which the Company participates in state-sponsored insurance funds. Aggregate stop-loss coverage for automobile liability, general liability, and workers’ compensation claims was $84.6 million for fiscal 2016 and is $103.7 million for fiscal 2017.

The Company is party to a stop-loss agreement for losses under its employee group health plan. For calendar year 2014 and 2015, the Company retained the risk of loss up to the first $250,000 of claims per participant as well as an annual aggregate amount. With regard to losses occurring in calendar year 2016, the Company retains the risk of loss, on an annual basis, up to the first $400,000 of claims per participant as well as an annual aggregate amount.
