Commercial Facility Inspection Processes

Review some inspection processes to determine the current condition of your commercial facility. Use the results of a comprehensive inspection to select the type of insurance you need to protect your place of business.

Inspection

Prepare your business for the inspection. Make sure that the building is safe to access. Secure any loose items that could interfere with conducting a thorough inspection.

If you own a large facility, prepare each part of the building separately. The actual inspection that is conducted will determine whether cleaning or repairs need to be made to any of the items you use during normal business operations.

Keep a checklist that outlines any problems that are discovered during the inspection. The automated machinery and other high-tech items that are used in your facility should be damage-free.

Utility Assessment

Your inspection should also focus on the utilities that are installed within your facility. Make sure that the plumbing, HVAC system, and other utilities are clean and in operable order.

Consider insuring the materials if any items you inspect are not under warranty.

Liability Concerns

Use your inspection report to determine how much liability protection you need. Liability insurance will protect you against mechanical failures that cause injuries or damage within your facility.

Business Operations

Conduct routine inspections that focus on business operations. These inspections will help keep the business premises safe and efficient.
