Whatever the nature of your business, NIG Risk Assist offers an easy-to-use and comprehensive range of online tools to help manage and reduce risks in your business, 24/7.

Every business faces risks, but not every business is ready to deal with them. So we’ve specifically created NIG Risk Assist to help business owners manage and respond to a broad range of risks that cover:

Health and safety

Health and safety training

To help reduce the risk of accidents, litigation and downtime. Our comprehensive eLearning courses are fully accredited by relevant bodies such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and NOS (National Occupational Standards), and provide credits towards relevant NVQs. Plus, unlimited user accounts allow you to register every member of staff for year-round training, regardless of the size of your business.

Our one-stop health and safety reference area with A–Z guidance covers. It covers safety requirements and includes downloadable templates by sector so you can deal with the complexities of your particular industry.

Protection against water damage

LeakSafe specialises in supplying water-leak detection and prevention systems to minimise the risks associated with water leaks and burst pipes.

Identify and understand postcode risk factors

Using postcode-specific risk factors and the business/organisation type operating there, the Business and Property Protection Portal provides resources and advice covering perils including fire, security and flood. This information library is based on risk control data and statistics collated by RISCAuthority (Risk Insight, Strategy and Control Authority) and the Fire Protection Association (FPA).

Helplines

Call the business emergency assistance helpline

For 24/7 emergency repairs such as burst pipes, blocked drains, flooding, and gas or electricity supply failures. Plus, 24/7 glass replacement service. Replacement locks and other emergency security measures are also available.

Legal and tax advice

Unlimited phone support covering UK and EU legal and tax issues. The service also provides useful information on matters such as property law and taxation and is updated regularly by legal professionals. You also have access to an online business law library to create ready-to-sign contracts, agreements and letters.

If required, the team can arrange client site visits and follow-up risk improvement action plans for regional traded risks.
