Allied Insurance Brokers has announced a partnership with ProSight Specialty Insurance for a new all-lines insurance program specifically tailored for the scaffold industry, offering innovative risk-management tools, loss control solutions and specialty claims management services.
The product offerings include general liability, workers’ compensation, auto, inland marine, property, excess, and crime. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, it is estimated that 65 percent of construction workers spend some time working on scaffolding, with the number one hazard being worker falls. The program and its risk-management services are aimed at increasing the overall safety of the equipment and reducing the likelihood of worker accidents.
“With over 30 years of experience within the scaffold industry, we have seen it all and truly understand scaffold risk management,” said Marty O’Brien, Allied’s chairman and CEO. “That very experience, along with ProSight’s resources, allowed us to assemble a program that covers all facets of scaffolding risks. It’s truly the only one like it in the industry. Plus, the risk management services will only help strengthen scaffold companies by making them safer, more profitable organizations.”
By partnering with Allied, ProSight is able to apply more than three decades of knowledge and experience to their solutions that are designed to offer highly customized products and services within one product offering.
“ProSight is fully committed to the scaffolding industry,” said Jake Morin, program executive for several of ProSight’s construction programs. “That’s why we’re excited about our partnership with Allied, who lend 30 years of expertise in the space. As partners, we’re able to deliver a customized product offering to a niche that we truly see as the backbone of the construction industry.”
