Boots-on-the-ground risk assessment.
3 AI translations · Insurance
Loss control engineers conduct on-site surveys evaluating physical hazards, fire protection (COPE), machinery guarding, housekeeping, safety programs, and management commitment. You complete survey forms, take photos, write narratives, assign RIRs, and grade the risk.
After surveys, you issue Risk Improvement Recommendations with deadlines: install sprinklers, implement lockout/tagout, upgrade electrical. You track compliance, follow up on overdue items, and recommend underwriting action for non-compliance.
For commercial auto and trucking, you evaluate fleet safety programs: driver selection, MVR review, vehicle maintenance, accident investigation, telematics/dash cam usage. You assess DOT compliance (BASICs scores, roadside inspections).
