PHILADELPHIA—ACE U.S.A. has expanded its insurance for the manufacturing industry to include accidental death and dismemberment coverage.

The AD&D coverage is part of ACE PaC, a general liability and pollution policy form available to small- and midsize companies, including those involved with the chemical manufacturing, distributing, mixing and blending process, the ACE Group Holdings Inc. division said Monday in a statement.

"We're pleased to offer accident insurance and risk management solutions to address serious work-related injuries that can have a devastating impact on employees and their families,” Joe Vasquez, division president, ACE USA accident and health, said in the statement. “This combined coverage, which addresses general liability exposures as well as pollution liabilities, can now be expanded to provide an additional AD&D benefit for employees in states where it is permitted. Not only do these enhancements help address the exposures faced by the manufacturing industry, they also address the financial security and resources necessary for dealing with an accidental loss.”
