SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Zurich North
America Insurance is offering a new construction app through Zurich
Services Corporation designed to help its construction customers
manage their risks and help improve safety, quality and insights
while on the job. Subscriptions to the Zurich Construction
Solutions app are now available industry wide.
"Our construction customers have told us about the struggles
they face on their job sites related to quality and safety," said
Jon Tate, Vice President of
Construction, Zurich Services Corporation, Risk Engineering Zurich
North America. "As we engaged customers, it became apparent many of
them were looking for a way to more easily collect and trend data
in real time to address their concerns. We heard them and are
excited to be able to offer this digitally driven solution."
Through the mobile app, workers are able to complete reports and
assign observations related to dangerous conditions or sub-quality
work on job sites in a digital manner. The information is then
available to risk managers and supervisors in near real-time,
allowing them to react to individual issues quickly, as well as see
trends across the larger data set. The app also can help track and
confirm that safety, program and quality controls are being
addressed.
Zurich Construction Solutions also provides the ability to link
a specific form to a QR code so any employee, contractor,
subcontractor or vendor involved with a specific job site can
complete a required form such as one for documenting an equipment
inspection, even if they have not downloaded the app.
The app also can be used to send digital "push messages" to
users, such as product recall alerts, risk alert notices, reminders
about webinars and information about emergency preparedness for
storms and other important topics.
The construction solutions app was developed with Real Time Risk
Solution, a developer and technology provider offering
sustainable, economical and immediately implementable technology
solutions that can be deployed on smartphones, tablet devices and
PCs. The developer was chosen for its ability to provide
flexibility to quickly adapt to the needs of Zurich's customers.
Zurich launched a pilot to test
the app in February with a handful of its construction customers.
Following the success of the test run, the Zurich Construction
Solutions app is now available industry wide.

Solutions app or get info on how to purchase an annual subscription
