If you’re after a quick risk assessment, the Zurich Risk Advisor app is a valuable digital tool that empowers businesses to identify, understand and improve the risks in their workplace.

Zurich Risk Advisor makes it easy for businesses to conduct self-risk assessments without assistance, simply by answering a series of questions about the various risks present in their organisation.

Self-risk assessment reports are available for:

  • Workers’ Injury Risks
  • Motor Fleet
  • Liability

  • Cyber Security

Most assessments have full and light versions. A full assessment can take 15-20 minutes, and provides a more detailed assessment and report. A light assessment can be completed in as little as 5-10 minutes.

There are also a range of ‘Risk Snap Shots’ covering a wider range of risk types. Completed reports can be used to help a business improve their risk profile over time. The Risk Snap Shots section also includes additional quick assessments tools for ‘Working at Home’ risks and Employee Wellbeing.
