A risk management visit is an on-site meeting with a SECURA risk management consultant to help identify potential safety hazards in your business. These visits allow us to see and discuss your operations, craft safety programs, share customized recommendations, establish accident investigation and hazard awareness training, and much more.

On-site assessment

We begin each visit with a meeting so we can get to know you and your operations. This will help us provide applicable input and resources based on your specific business. After our initial meeting, we will walk through the facility with you to assess any risks or hazards with your property, employees, or operations.
