Risk assessment plays a pivotal role in risk management, especially for businesses in diverse industries such as construction.

Often, the servicing and maintenance of equipment are identified as a hotbed for claims.
Anticipating and Managing Claims
When claims arise, especially within service and maintenance areas, the blame game begins. The service and maintenance company typically points fingers at the installer for faulty equipment. This situation becomes even more complex when the manufacturer is involved in the service and maintenance. Therefore, a detailed risk assessment becomes crucial to understand where claims are most likely to arise and how to document them systematically using tools like photography and reports.
This meticulous process ensures that we have everything in place when a claim arises, providing us with robust documentation to defend against claims that aren’t our responsibility or fault. Risk assessment helps us not only to mitigate the chances of claims but also prepare for their occurrence.
