Named Perils = Only what is listed. Comprehensive = Everything except what is excluded.
1. Named Perils(指定风险)
只有保单**明确列出的风险(Perils)**才赔。
例如保单列出:
Fire
Lightning
Windstorm
Hail
Explosion
Smoke
Theft
如果发生 Fire:
✅ Covered
如果发生 Flood,但 Flood 没列:
❌ Not Covered
RIBO 思维
Is the peril named?
是 → Covered
不是 → No Coverage
2. Comprehensive(All Risks)
Comprehensive 的思维完全相反:
默认都赔,除非保单明确排除(Excluded)。
例如:
狗撞坏玻璃(不是故意)
虽然不是 Named Peril,
但如果没有 Exclusion,
✅ Covered。
所以考试常说:
Covered unless excluded.
3. RIBO 最喜欢考的区别
假设:
孩子踢足球把窗户踢碎。
在 Named Perils 下:
窗户被足球踢坏 不是 Named Peril
→ ❌ 不赔
在 Comprehensive 下:
不是 Exclusion
→ ✅ 赔
4. Dwelling 与 Personal Property 的保障形式(★★★★★)
很多考生会混淆。
在标准 Homeowners Broad Form 中:
Dwelling(Coverage A):Comprehensive(All Risks)
Personal Property(Coverage C):Named Perils
所以:
房子保障较广,
个人财产保障较窄。
考试陷阱
Homeowners Broad Form
Coverage A
↓
All Risks
Coverage C
↓
Named Perils
一定要记住。
5. Comprehensive 也有 Exclusions
不是所有东西都赔。
常见 Exclusions:
Wear and tear(自然磨损)
Rust(生锈)
Vermin(害虫)
Flood(通常不保)
Earthquake(通常不保,需要附加保障)
Intentional damage(故意损坏)
所以:
All Risks ≠ All Losses
RIBO 高频口诀
Named Perils
If it isn’t listed, it isn’t covered.
Comprehensive
If it isn’t excluded, it is covered.

🎯 这里有一个容易混淆的地方(RIBO 很喜欢考)
不要把 Basic Form 和 Named Perils Form 当成两个不同的保单。
在 RIBO 的语境里,Basic Form 的特点就是采用 Named Perils 保障。考试通常不会要求你背所有受保风险,而更常考的是:
哪一种 Homeowners Form 提供 Named Perils?
哪一种提供 Comprehensive?
哪一种保障范围最广?
掌握这三种 Form 的区别,比死记所有风险名称更重要。
这是 RIBO Homeowners Insurance 最重要的一章,几乎每次考试都会涉及 Basic、Broad、Comprehensive 三种 Form 的区别。
Broad Form(最常见的 Homeowners 保单)
Broad Form 可以理解成:
房屋保障升级了,但个人财产没有升级。
它最大的特点只有一句话:
Coverage
保障方式
Coverage A(Dwelling)
✅ Comprehensive (All Risks)
Coverage B(Detached Structures)
✅ Comprehensive (All Risks,通常跟随 Dwelling)
Coverage C(Personal Property)
✅ Named Perils
Coverage D(Additional Living Expenses)
如果因受保风险导致无法居住,则赔偿额外生活费用。
考试口诀:
Broad = House Comprehensive + Contents Named Perils
Broad Form 比 Basic Form 多了什么?
假设发生一个意外但不是 Named Peril。
例如:
孩子在家踢球,把窗户踢碎。
Basic Form
房屋(Coverage A)是 Named Perils。
足球不是 Named Peril。
❌ 不赔。
Broad Form
房屋(Coverage A)是 Comprehensive。
足球不是 Exclusion。
✅ 赔。
但是 Personal Property 仍然没有升级
例如:
你把自己的笔记本电脑摔到地上。
这是:
Coverage C(Personal Property)
Broad Form 下:
Coverage C = Named Perils。
“Accidentally dropped” 不是 Named Peril。
❌ 不赔。
这是 RIBO 最爱考的陷阱。
Broad Form 仍然不保什么?
即使是 Comprehensive,也不是“什么都赔”。
常见 Exclusions:
❌ Flood(洪水)
❌ Earthquake(地震,通常需附加保障)
❌ Sewer Backup(通常需附加保障)
❌ Wear and Tear(自然磨损)
❌ Rust(生锈)
❌ Rot(腐烂)
❌ Vermin(虫害、鼠害)
❌ Intentional Damage(故意损坏)
记住:
Comprehensive = Covered unless excluded.
不是:
Everything is covered.

题目 3(经典)
A homeowner has a Broad Form policy. A heavy object accidentally falls and damages the roof. The cause of loss is not a named peril and is not excluded.

✅ Yes
因为:
Coverage A = Comprehensive
⭐ RIBO 必背三句话
Basic Form
Building = Named Perils Contents = Named Perils
Broad Form
Building = Comprehensive Contents = Named Perils
Comprehensive Form
Building = Comprehensive Contents = Comprehensive
🎯 我建议你这样记忆(考试最快)
Basic A = NP C = NP
Broad A = Comp C = NP
Comprehensive A = Comp C = Comp
Comprehensive Form(All Risks Form)
Comprehensive Form 是 Homeowners Insurance 中保障范围最广的标准保单。
它的核心只有一句话:
Building(房屋)和 Personal Property(个人财产)都采用 Comprehensive(All Risks)保障。
Coverage 方式
Coverage
保障方式
Coverage A(Dwelling)
✅ Comprehensive
Coverage B(Detached Structures)

这是 RIBO 最喜欢考的地方。

注意!
很多同学误以为:
Comprehensive = 什么都赔
这是错误的。
Comprehensive 的真正意思是:
Covered unless excluded.
常见 Exclusions
即使是 Comprehensive Form,
通常也不会赔:
❌ Wear and Tear(自然磨损)
❌ Rust(生锈)
❌ Rot(腐烂)
❌ Vermin(鼠害、虫害)
❌ Intentional Damage(故意损坏)
❌ Flood(洪水,通常需附加保障)

Answer Key Q Answer 41 B 42 A 43 B 44 B 45 B 46 B 47 A 48 C 49 B 50 B ⭐ 最后冲刺:RIBO Level 1 必背 20 个高频考点 如果你只能在考前花 30 分钟复习,建议重点记住以下内容: Level 1 Broker 必须在适当监督下工作。 Principal Broker 负责监督经纪人并确保经纪公司遵守 RIBO 要求。 Active Firm 可以销售保险;Non-Active Firm 不可以。 Material Facts(重大事实)必须如实披露。 Utmost Good Faith(最大诚信)要求双方诚实披露重大事实。 Indemnity:赔偿损失,不允许从损失中获利。 Subrogation:保险公司赔付后向责任第三方追偿。 Contribution:多家保险公司共同分摊同一损失。 Physical Hazard:如老旧电线、湿滑地面。 Moral Hazard:故意骗保、纵火等欺诈行为。 Morale Hazard:因有保险而变得疏忽大意。 Underwriter 决定是否承保及承保条件。 经纪人不能保证理赔一定获批。 经纪人不能倒签保单来覆盖已知损失。 重大风险变化(Material Change in Risk)应及时通知保险公司。 Ontario 法律要求车辆至少有第三者责任保险(Third-Party Liability)等法定保障才能合法上路;碰撞险不是强制购买。 Higher Deductible 通常意味着 Lower Premium。 Commercial General Liability (CGL) 主要保障企业因经营活动对第三者造成的人身伤害或财产损失的责任。 经纪人遇到不确定的问题,应向主管或核保人员寻求帮助,而不是猜测。 保险的核心目的是转移符合合同约定的财务风险,而不是消除所有风险或保证所有损失都获赔。 我的建议 如果你能把这 50 道题全部做对,并真正理解每道题背后的原因,你的法规、保险原则和职业责任部分已经具备通过 RIBO Level 1 的扎实基础。 接下来最值得强化的,是考试中占比较大的另外几个模块: Ontario Automobile Policy (OAP 1)(汽车保险) Homeowners Insurance(住宅保险) Commercial Property & CGL(商业财产与商业责任) Travel Health Insurance(旅游医疗保险) 这几个模块结合起来,基本覆盖了正式考试的大部分高频内容。祝你备考顺利!

(谁控制该区域,谁承担责任。)
考题

一句话总结
In a building with multiple tenancy, the landlord is liable for injuries or damages arising from unsafe conditions in common areas under the landlord’s control.
RIBO 记忆口诀:
Control = Responsibility
Common Areas → Landlord
Private Unit → Tenant。
这是 Liability 章节中非常经典的考试知识点。
How do you determine the liability of a bailee for customer’s goods?
这是 RIBO Level 1 Bailee Liability(保管人责任) 的经典考点。
什么是 Bailee?
Bailee is a person or business that temporarily takes possession of someone else’s property for a specific purpose.
(暂时保管他人财物的人或企业)
例子:
干洗店(dry cleaner)
修车厂(auto repair shop)
仓库(warehouse)
修表店(watch repair shop)
搬家公司(mover)
核心问题:如何判断 Bailee 是否负责客户财物损失?
标准答案:
Liability of a bailee is determined by whether they exercised reasonable care and were negligent.
(是否尽到了合理注意义务 + 是否存在过失)
判断逻辑(RIBO 必考)
Step 1:Was there a duty of care?
✔ Yes
Bailee automatically owes a Duty of Care because他已经接管了财物。
Step 2:Was there negligence?
必须判断:
Did the bailee fail to take reasonable care?
如果 YES → Bailee liable
例如:
干洗店弄丢衣服;
修车厂停车场未锁车导致被盗;
仓库未采取防火措施导致货物损坏。
如果 NO → Bailee NOT liable
例如:
已采取合理安全措施;
损失属于不可预见事件;
已达到行业合理标准。
Step 3:Was there a contract limitation?(如适用)
有些 bailee 会有免责条款:
“Not responsible for loss or damage”
“Stored at owner’s risk”
⚠️ 但:
免责条款不能免除 gross negligence(重大过失)
Bailee Liability 原则总结
Bailee is NOT automatically responsible for loss.
Liability depends on negligence.
举例
例 1:Dry Cleaner
顾客衣服送去干洗,结果丢失。
干洗店未能找到衣物;
未采取合理保管措施;
✅ Bailee liable(有过失)
例 2:Auto Repair Shop
客户车停在修车厂,厂方锁好车,仍被第三方暴力盗窃。
已采取合理安全措施;
❌ Bailee not liable(无过失)
例 3:Warehouse
仓库未安装防火系统,发生火灾损失货物。
未达到行业标准;
✅ Bailee liable(过失)

RIBO 记忆口诀

一句话总结
A bailee is liable for customer’s goods only if they fail to exercise reasonable care (i.e., negligence is proven).
A physical hazard is a tangible or material condition that increases the likelihood or severity of a loss. It refers to a characteristic of a person, property, or environment that makes a loss more likely to occur.
Definition
A physical hazard is a physical condition that increases the chance or seriousness of a loss.
Examples of Physical Hazards
1. Icy Sidewalks
Increase the chance of slips and falls.
May lead to bodily injury claims.
2. Worn or Faulty Electrical Wiring
Creates a higher risk of fire.
Common concern in property insurance.
3. Smoking in Bed
Increases the likelihood of a house fire.
Makes a loss more probable.
Other Examples
Old or leaking roofs
Poor lighting in stairways
Defective machinery
Storing gasoline near heat sources
Having a swimming pool on the property
Physical Hazard vs. Moral Hazard
Physical Hazard
Moral Hazard
Physical condition
Attitude or dishonesty
Tangible and visible
Psychological or behavioral
Example: icy driveway
Example: submitting a fraudulent claim
Increases chance of loss
Increases frequency or severity of claims
RIBO Exam Memory Tip
Physical Hazard = Something you can see or touch that increases the chance of loss.
Three examples:
Icy sidewalks
Faulty electrical wiring
Defective machinery (or smoking in bed)
These are common examples used in RIBO Level 1 and other insurance examinations.
