Insurance Risk Assessors at Private and Commercial Property
Use Case
Challenge
Insurance risk assessors play a crucial role in evaluating properties and assessing potential risks for insurance companies. However, their work often involves significant hazards as they frequently operate alone in unfamiliar and potentially dangerous environments. As a manager or safety officer responsible for these professionals, ensuring their safety is paramount.
Risk assessors often work in isolation, visiting remote locations, abandoned properties, or construction sites. They may encounter hostile property owners, hazardous materials, or unsafe structures. Additionally, they frequently travel to areas with limited cellular coverage, making communication and emergency response challenging.
At Guardian Angel Safety, we understand the unique challenges faced by lone insurance risk assessors. We can help you implement the right safety solutions to mitigate risks and enhance worker protection.
Risks
- Being Inside a Building
Being inside buildings creates complexity for satellite communications for staff who are outside cell cover needing specific solutions.
- Confrontations
In commercial property visits, staff can be at risk of exposure to confrontations with hostile employees or management. There are similar risks for private property where staff risk exposure to confrontations with property owners or occupants. The risk is likely higher and more frequent for these workers due to the nature of entering premises and homes often on their own and sometimes in difficult high-stress situations. In both situations, there is usually no ability to conduct a thorough risk assessment before entry.
- Isolation and Communication Barriers
Workers in remote locations may be hours away from help if they encounter an emergency or a vehicle breakdown. The solitary work means an incident could go unnoticed for extended periods.
- Physical Risks and Hazards
Depending on the type of property and how it has been managed or maintained there can be a risk of accidents or injuries from exposure to hazardous materials, unsafe structures, respiratory issues from dust or chemicals, slips, trips, and falls.
