The fourth in our series of 'insurance insight' events hosted with Zurich Insurance focuses on avoiding damage from construction fires.

Over the last few years there has been a notable increase in the number of fires significantly affecting construction projects, in particular projects involving refurbishment of listed buildings. 

The aim of this session is to:

  • Give an overview of Zurich's experiences of recent significant losses
  • Reinforce industry best practice; and
  • Identify further mitigation measures to reduce the risks such as
    • Strengthening hot work permit procedures;
    • Improved training; and
    • New technology

Speakers include:

Robert Innes (Senior Risk Engineer – Zurich)

Matthew Porter (Executive Claims Adjuster – Zurich)

 

The webinar will run from 14.00 to 15:30 starting with a 30-minute presentation followed by a Q&A and discussion session.
