We asked our team of risk control consultants here at ERIE for an insider's perspective on what consultants look for - and the surprising things they find.
You've worked hard to build and grow your business. We can help protect it.
To get things started, let your ERIE agent know that you're interested in focusing on risk control for your business. ERIE's professional consultants can offer many resources to help, including a walk-through for businesses who qualify. They're looking for ways for you to mitigate risks by identifying potential loss exposures and providing information on solutions you can implement to control and/or eliminate them.
ERIE's consultants have specialized areas of knowledge - property, commercial auto, workers' compensation, products liability and construction/contracting - to better meet customers' needs.
Their keen eyes are quick to spot things you might expect, such as fire protection. However, there are a few less obvious risks that are equally as common and - in some cases - on the rise.
