Inspection services for Insurance Brokers

Help your clients achieve compliance

Insurance brokers face a number of challenges when offering engineering inspection services to 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 examination frequency of different inspection and testing regimes.

It pays for brokers to find an effective, value-adding solution to engineering inspection services for clients. Failure to comply with the required legislation risks potential prosecution for the client and increases the risk to operation. The implementation of a robust engineering inspection program is a good way to demonstrate best practice and a vital part of any risk management programme too.
