Norwich Union Risk Services has produced a range of online risk management factsheets for brokers.

A series of 120 fact sheets have been added to the company’s website www.nu-riskservices.co.uk, covering a range of health, safety, security, fire and environmental topics. Each factsheet, available as a PDF download, identifies legislation, describes the implications for business and outlines key actions that should be taken for a specific risk.

The company has also launched a weekly e-mail bulletin, the Net Risk, designed to keep brokers informed about the many risks and regulations affecting their customers.

Brian Wallace, head of Norwich Union Risk Services, said: “We recognise that it can be quite difficult for brokers to keep up to date with changes to legislation. However, increasingly their customers are expecting this of them. We believe that these services, which are free to our broker partners, can really help them to meet their customers’ expectations in an effective and time-saving way.”
