Affiliated FM believes property loss prevention is essential to an organization's long-term health and stability. While many expenses associated with property loss can be recouped through the insurance contract, many intangible costs, such as damaged reputation, loss of employees, market share, customers or key suppliers, cannot be covered by an insurance policy.

A sound property loss prevention program can help provide better protection against property damage and business interruption, and reduce a company's long-term cost of risk.

Assessing and reducing your exposure to risk is Affiliated FM's area of expertise. Our property loss prevention measures include:

• Risk or exposure identification
• Measurement and evaluation of identified exposures
• Risk control of exposures through elimination and/or reduction
