Equipment Breakdown Loss Control Programs
If you have equipment breakdown insurance from EMC Insurance Companies, you have access to a staff of engineers, equipment inspectors and technicians who strive to help you prevent losses. That is because your coverage is underwritten by HSB (The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company), the world’s oldest and largest insurer of power, process and production equipment. EMC works closely with HSB to bring you a comprehensive loss control program designed to meet jurisdictional requirements, enhance equipment availability, and mitigate and adjust losses when they may occur.
