What happens when regulations, insurers, and isolated measures put a company under pressure?

With risk on mind, RZ Timber moved from regulatory chaos to a clear, economically sound overall concept—and turned acute insurance risks into measurable security and millions in savings.

The task

RZ Timber was confronted with contradictory regulatory requirements, excessive insurance demands, and an uncoordinated mix of measures without an overall concept, which put the insurability of the site at acute risk and threatened significant additional costs.

Our Approach

risk on mind first developed a risk-based, integrated overall concept, coordinated it early with authorities and insurers, and then implemented it in a cost-optimised, transparently tendered, and operationally supported manner to ensure quality and avoid additional costs.

Outcome

risk on mind half RZ Timber  by developing and economically implementing a risk-based overall concept coordinated with authorities and insurers, which sustainably secured insurability and at the same time enabled significant cost savings.

Long-term insurability secured

Concept rolled out across the entire group

"The insurability of our site was not a given at the beginning. Through the work of risk on mind, we now have a long-term, stable, and secure solution. That is why I deliberately placed full responsibility for fire protection matters in the hands of rom."
