Protect Your Investments and Maintain Current Insurance Premiums

The Hidden Costs of Lost or Stolen Tools

As a contractor, you understand the critical role that tools and materials play in the success of your projects. However, the theft or loss of these high-value items can lead to significant financial setbacks. Insurance claims for stolen tools not only disrupt your workflow they  also result in higher insurance premiums, affecting your bottom line.

Loss can come from a multitude of sources, increasingly the crimes are organized with the help of employees or subcontractors. Bad actors have the opportunity to learn where there are control gaps and how best to exploit them. Unfortunately, these types of incidents are becoming more common impacting more than just project schedules. 

The Impact of Insurance Claims on Premiums

When insurance claims for lost or stolen property increase, insurance companies respond by raising premiums. This increase reflects the higher risk they associate with insuring your business. By investing in common sense security measures, you can reduce the frequency of these claims and keep your premiums consistent.

Automated access logs, geo-location tracking, tool and equipment reporting can go a long way towards deterring incidents before they happen. Exportable incident reports can ease the burden of documentation if and when they do.
