Our loss prevention studies on behalf of cargo insurers, together with cargo owners, are aimed at reducing loss ratios for the Underwriter and business disruption to the Insured and their customers.

We at Toplis and Harding believe that Loss Prevention is an essential element in the assessment and improvement of the overall risk for the benefit of Insurers and Insured. We can provide advice on E.M.L., as well as analysis of hazard and protections applicable where appropriate.
