Morristown, N.J.-based ProSight Specialty Insurance has partnered with Allied Insurance Brokers, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., to offer scaffold risk insurance as part of what the companies say is a simple all-lines approach for the scaffold industry.
“ProSight is fully committed to the scaffold industry. That’s why we’re excited about our partnership with Allied. 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,” said Jake Morin, program executive for several of ProSight’s Construction programs.
With its one-stop all-lines approach, ProSight and Allied’s Scaffold Program eliminates what they say is often the need for multiple insurance carriers. The product offering includes:
- General Liability
- Workers’ Comp
- Inland Marine
- Property
- Excess
- Auto
- Crime
For scaffolding professionals—safety is paramount. While education is central to creating a culture of safety, businesses must further minimize risk with the appropriate insurance protection. This new insurance product from ProSight and Allied is an ideal solution for businesses looking to fully safeguard themselves, the companies said.
According to The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) it is estimated that 65 percent of construction workers spend some time working on scaffolds, with the number one hazard being worker falls.
