Manage risks to prevent losses
Our risk management advice is aimed at helping you to reduce potential risks on your farm and keep loss to a minimum.
By working closely with our Underwriters, the Loss Control Surveyors provide a wide range of expertise to help manage risk and control exposure to common and trade specific hazards. From assisting with the design of buildings to reduce potential fire loss, to offering guidance on home security and theft prevention measures, we can provide assistance on a broad variety of complex loss control issues.
