Services

We pride ourselves on bringing practical, cost-effective solutions to unique and difficult loss control problems. We have a wealth of property risk control services to assist you in your efforts to prevent property loss or, should a loss occur, reduce the severity and business impact. Examples of the property risk control services at Travelers are listed below.

Customized consulting

A sound fire protection program requires a careful analysis of the hazards and exposures to loss in your facility, as well as a good understanding of your operation. Working closely with you, our fire protection specialists and consultants can help identify and evaluate your fire hazards and assess your facility and operation relative to property protection and business continuity.

Loss reduction recommendations

Once hazards have been identified and reviewed, our specialists can make practical recommendations, propose

solutions and help you develop a loss prevention program that meets your specific needs toward reducing the potential for property loss and resulting business interruption.

Assessment of fire protection equipment

We can help you determine the adequacy of your fire suppression equipment. Through fire pump testing, water supply testing and hydraulic gradients, we can help you determine if the fire suppression water supplies to your facility are adequate and reliable. Using computerized hydraulic analysis, we can evaluate the protection capabilities of your sprinkler system.

Fire protection specifications

If you are adding a new addition, building a new facility or moving operations, our property specialists can discuss the proposed changes and provide specifications for fire protection designs that will help ensure proper protection.

Plan review

Our consultants can recommend ways to reduce your potential for property loss due to fire by reviewing your fire protection equipment plans. We compare these plans to national fire codes and the types of losses experienced by others in your industry.

Loss prevention program materials

We can provide you with a variety of loss prevention management tools, including cutting, welding and grinding permits; fire protection impairment tags and literature; and self-inspection forms.
