PRESS RELEASE:
MARCH 16, 2020
The National Insurance Board of Trinidad and Tobago (NIBTT) takes the welfare and safety of our customers, members of the general public, and employees very seriously. COVID-19 has emerged as a priority issue for the global community, including Trinidad and Tobago, and the following measures have been taken by NIBTT’s management team to ensure that the risk of COVID-19 spreading is minimized to insured persons, employees, and the communities we serve at the NIBTT.
Proactive steps that were taken at NIBTT’s locations (Corporate Headquarters and NIBTT’s Collection & Service Centres) include:
- Provision of hand sanitizers for staff and customers.
- Provision of gloves for optional use.
- Intensification of routine cleaning procedures, especially high touch surfaces such as customer counters, seating and door handles.
- Installation of posters throughout our office locations highlighting preventative measures and other important information from confirmed reliable sources.
- Mobilized NIBTT’s Health & Safety and Business Continuity Plans to ensure that our preparedness is aligned with the level of risk in the public domain.
- Expanded Customer Care abilities through increased resources.
- Additional temporary telephone lines will be installed to better serve you.
In order to ensure that proper social distancing measures are practised, we strongly encourage our customers to do the following:

The NIBTT is well positioned to navigate through this challenging period of the COVID-19 situation while having care and compassion for our customers as an uppermost consideration in our business decisions. We ask that you take personal responsibility to protect yourselves, your families and other loved ones.
