Is your business in safe hands?

Did you know that as an FMB Insurance Services policyholder you get free access to an online health and safety tool kit?

 

Free health and safety advice

In 2006/07, 32 percent of all worker deaths were in the construction industry, according to the Heath and Safety Executive*, protecting your employees health and safety is one of the most important considerations in the construction industry today. This is not only to the construction fi rms working at the sharp end, but also to the insurance companies who also want to minimise the risks involved with working in a hazardous environment. Insurers appreciate that providing the best training, the right methods and assessing risks correctly are the cornerstones of a safe construction site.

What is 'Risk Director'?

Allianz, the insurers behind FMB Insurance Services, has launched ‘Risk Director’ an award winning risk management toolkit designed to help you manage, amongst other things, your health and safety.

 

As a leading provider of insurance for small businesses, ‘Allianz’ knows that managing your business can be a balancing act. On one hand you’re focused on making a profit, providing a quality service and building up your business for the long term. On the other hand there’s the administration side, accounting, finance, employment law and of course health and safety.

 

Whilst we may all be aware that the Health and Safety Executive dictates that all employers must have a health and safety policy (this has to be a written policy for companies with five or more employees), companies who may be expanding or taking on employees for the first time now have a helping hand and a point of reference to steer them in the right direction.

 

The benefits of using 'Risk Director' include

  • A step-by-step guide to create your own health and safety policy

  • Useful tips to help identify the signifi cant hazards you could be exposed to

  • Access to tutorials conducting risk assessments

  • Online training, to include modules covering various topics

  • The latest updates on hot topics and news items

  • A specialist health and safety telephone number for assistance.
     

Forward thinking insurance companies know that the best way to reduce claims costs is to concentrate on reducing the causes of claims, by working in partnership with their clients (that’s you) so incidents can be reduced for the benefit of all parties. Ultimately fewer claims and related costs should lead to lower premiums for all, or is that hoping for a bit too much?
