Innovative solutions to tackle your unique exposures

As the global threat of political violence and terrorism continues to evolve, so too must the risk management strategies you use to mitigate against these unpredictable perils.

In recent years, while the threat of transnational, religious extremism has remained prominent, we have also seen an uptick in violent acts by political extremists and other domestic actors. The global spotlight on widespread civil unrest has highlighted potential pitfalls in risk management strategies, meaning the need for robust, bespoke solutions is more important now than ever.

Inside Risk: Aerosols – managing the property fire risk

Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace. However, aerosols can also contain flammable substances as well as pressurised flammable propellants, such as propane or butane which can easily ignite and lead to rapid fire spread. In a fire, containers can rupture, producing jets of flame and projectiles, spreading the fire, and making firefighting more difficult. The smoke from the resulting fire can pose additional health risks. Robust property loss controls are therefore needed to manage the storage and handling of aerosols.Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace.
