Supporting Insurance Brokers with Testing & Inspection Services
Feb. 23 2021
Insurance brokers face a number of challenges when offering statutory inspections of plant, equipment and electrical installations to their clients. Keeping up with the latest regulations across a wide range of engineering and electrical equipment can be complex, particularly when taking into account the frequency of different testing regimes.
However, it pays for brokers to find an effective, value-adding solution to inspection services for clients. Failure to comply with the required legislation risks litigation for the client and can invalidate insurance policies, but this vital add-on is about more than just compliance. Regular testing and inspection is a good way to demonstrate best practice and a vital part of any risk management programme too.
