Loss Control & Safety Engineering

Even before the tragic events of Sept.11, 2001, at the World Trade Centre, emerging concerns over Loss Control & Safety procedures have hastened the need for proper workplace evaluation and safety training.
In 1999, E.G. Bowman, one of the few Insurance Brokers who maintain a dedicated staff of expert engineers, developed Bowman Specialty Services, a full-service Loss Control & Safety Engineering firm.

Did you know . . .
. . . that controlling accidents has a direct bearing on your company's profits?
Studies show that a good loss record can only reduce future insurance premiums, thus reducing expenditures and improving your company's bottom line.

Did you know . . .
. . . that every loss has a hidden, uninsured cost?
In today's difficult market, avoiding the cost of hiring and training of new employees, time lost due to injury, machinery downtime, and the resulting decrease in overall production, only makes good business sense for your company.

At E.G. Bowman, we can provide all of the following Loss Control & Safety Services:

Claims Control
Although Loss Control activities are directed toward preventing accidents, a great deal can be learned from a company's past experiences. Bowman's representatives, utilizing their vast experience, can perform exhaustive, detailed loss analyses on previous losses and claims. Our expert staff can pinpoint certain trends, enabling us to determine the cause and effect relationship in any given loss situation. This information will then be passed on to your risk management personnel, and recommendations will be made to help you minimize and control any future accidents.
