Risk control resources for construction
The mainstay of UFG Risk Control is a commitment to people. We partner with our insureds to learn about their business through a holistic risk-management approach based on open, candid conversations. This two-way discussion sets us apart — allowing us to apply expertise that runs deeper than checking boxes and running reports — to offer trusted recommendations. Our consultants partner with companies to identify exposures and risks, playing a role in protecting the business and the people who work there.
Risk control is part of UFG’s collective of in-house experts providing consistency and dependability that agents expect when doing business with us. Our team — backed by an average of nearly 25 years of safety and risk experience — puts
specialized skills and advanced technology to work for a broad range of industries, including construction. Exemplary consultative services are available to eligible policyholders, such as:
- Risk assessments that include holistic review of operations.
- Business sustainability plans.
- Flexible, virtual assessments with tenured risk consultants.
- Vehicle-use policy and fleet safety program.
- Builders risk and construction defect hazards.
- Use of thermal imaging technology.
- Thought-leadership solutions to emerging threats.
- Identifying benefits of quality assurance and quality control processes.
- Access to digital resources.
It’s our pleasure to offer these downloadable resources to enhance resilience and sustainability for our construction partners.
