New Resource Available During Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic

New Resource Available During Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic for Property Owners, Managers and Construction Projects During Building Vacancies.

Best practices to manage and help prevent water intrusion, mold and legionella.

There are many concerns and unexpected consequences surrounding the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, one of which is the unexpected closing of businesses and companies for an unspecified period of time. This has led to a large number of buildings and/or units being totally vacated or maintained with only minimal support staff. In addition, disruptions or delays of on-going construction projects due to government-mandated shut downs, worker shortages, or supply chain issues may increase. The end result, if proper management practices are not adhered too, is the potential for mold and legionella to develop in the future.

In an effort to offer any support that we can to you and your business, we have collaborated with RiskNomics, one of our expert risk control vendors, to provide the following memo as a resource to you. Within the link below, you will find best management practices for a building’s or facility’s potential shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We remain committed to ensuring our high level of service and support during these extraordinary times. Being responsive to the needs of our brokers, agents, insureds and claimants remains our top priority. As a division, we pride ourselves on rising to meet major challenges with optimism and determination. Even in uncertain circumstances, you can be confident that our team is taking measures to provide seamless continuity in our service to you. Our goal is to minimize disruption to our business operations and maintain high service standards.
