Professional Saver Risk Assessment Insurance


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a risk professional, your risk analysis reports and recommendations are relied upon by organisations to keep operations safe and minimise hazards. However, mistakes can happen:

  • Flawed advice on safety protocols
  • Unidentified threats
  • Missed risk factors
  • Inaccurate reporting

Any of these could leave clients vulnerable to major incidents, business disruption or significant liability exposures.

Without adequate insurance, just one error by you that leads to a major loss event, disruption or substantial claims costs for a client could result in extortionate compensation demands against you personally.

Our specialist risk assessor insurance provides complete peace of mind that any claims stemming from your services will be dealt with directly by your insurer. You won’t lose your livelihood over one mistake.

What Is Risk Assessor Insurance?

Risk assessor insurance protects professionals who evaluate hazard scenarios across areas like the built environment, workplace safety, fire prevention, business continuity, security, insurance exposures and more to quantify risk levels and recommend controls.

As a risk analyst or risk surveyor, clients rely on your impartial assessments to understand vulnerabilities in their operations, processes, properties, events and activities that could lead to accidents, disasters, financial loss or liability costs.

However, there is substantial liability if your oversight or flawed judgements fail to highlight significant risks leading to incidents you claimed to evaluate and manage.

Comprehensive risk assessor insurance generally includes:

  • Public Liability – Protecting against compensation demands if third parties suffer bodily injury or property damage as a result of your negligence.
  • Products Liability – Safeguarding against claims if products you endorsed or certified go on to cause damage.
  • Professional Indemnity – Shielding against claims for pure financial loss arising from your alleged failure to highlight major risks.

Above all, adequate cover defends your professional reputation as an authority that organisations rely on for impartial risk analysis and auditing. It prevents potentially questionable inspection and reporting quality from ever being called into question in court.

FAQs

Risk Assessor Insurance FAQs

Insurance is critical because if flawed advice, missed threats or errors by a risk professional lead to major incidents, business disruption or substantial liability costs for clients, extortionate claims can follow.

Policies cover the assessor’s liability for resulting financial loss and compensation payouts stemming from inaccurate or negligent services.

Examples of losses we commonly cover include:

  • Failure to identify safety hazards leading to serious employee injury claims
  • Understated business continuity risks resulting in critical distribution systems outages and huge income declines during peak trading periods
  • Incorrect fire safety procedural advice contributing to a major facility blaze prompting multi million pound compensation claims

Essentially, scenarios where a risk assessor or consultant could be deemed partly or fully liable for not identifying threats or providing accurate enough recommendations to protect the client – leading to loss events.

Yes – our policies can be extended to cover any contractors, subcontractors, self-employed consultants or temporary staff conducting risk analysis activities under your company name.

So even if an external fire safety auditor you bring in provides flawed analysis leading to major loss, you and your lead risk assessment business remain fully protected against resulting claims.

We cater extensively to risk consultancies just starting out by offering:

  • Flexible excess amounts so your upfront claim costs are minimised
  • Monthly premiums start from less than £54 per year, allowing you to get compliant and protected while focusing on winning clients rather than financing insurance
  • Instant coverage so you can impress prospects with certification
  • Completely digital purchase process for efficiency
