Kicking off 2021

Fire is still the ‘hottest’ topic when it comes to everyday risks. Read the article on the various risks relating to hot work. Working with an open flame continues to be a major risk for companies, and it is important to establish and enforce practices that prevent accidents and losses from happening. Did you know that routine tasks can also be the most dangerous?

We also reflect on how trusted partnerships bring benefits to both the client and the insurer. Bringing in If’s Risk Engineers early on to a project allows our experts greater opportunity to mitigate any risks and prevent potential losses. Working by your side, we are better positioned to help ensure that projects are delivered safely and successfully, providing additional support to your project team.

Lessons learned from 2020

In 2020, companies and societies around the world faced arguably the most challenging year in recent history. In just a few months, the resilience of businesses, the power of government authorities, the efficiency of public healthcare, and the adaptability of people were all put to the test. Undoubtedly, the past year will be one of extensive study and reflection.

How well did we adapt to change? What worked and what did not go as planned? By actively evaluating some of the lessons from the past year, we now have an opportunity to establish and implement new practices into our risk management work.

This, in turn, will help increase safety and preparedness if we find ourselves in similar circumstances in the future. As 2021 kicks into gear, it is important to grow from our experiences and consider; what can we do differently this year?
