# **Loss Control Inspection Team Conducting Surveys During Covid-19**
The Loss Control crew is equipped with PPE to conduct on-site surveys throughout the pandemic, ensuring that surveys continue while respecting your safety and comfort level.
The team can use a virtual survey platform when it is impossible to conduct on-site surveys. You will first be interviewed over the phone, after which you will be sent a link optimised for mobile devices so that you can upload images and enter more information online.
# Results Of A Loss Control Survey
Following the survey, our [Loss Control inspection](https://safeguard.is/) team gives your broker and underwriter supporting information. This includes a letter of recommendation with images identifying areas for risk improvement. Your broker can review that letter with you and discuss any concerns or possible future steps.
For post-survey consultations, including clarification of suggestions or guidance on potential building renovation or expansion projects, our Loss Control Inspection team is always accessible (such as adding sprinkler protection or alarm detection).

# Benefits Of A Loss Control Survey
They will benefit the broker and the policyholder since "they are assisting in playing that defensive line. A loss prevented is always a mutual win, saving our policyholders from experiencing downtime, inconvenience, and paying their deductible," the team said. "Most policyholders don't have access to the technology we have, such as infrared cameras, and they're benefiting from the team's collective years of field experience.
As the loss control inspection Team continues to explain, "The majority of policyholders do not keep photographic records of their structure or contents. Additionally, survey images are kept on file as part of the Loss Control procedure and could be helpful in the case of a sizable loss or claim."
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure regarding hazards, risks, and losses, and the Loss Control inspection team collaborates with our policyholders, brokers, and underwriters for everyone's benefit.
