When you ask yourself why Industria, the answer will seem obvious—as our name suggests, we know your niche. We work in tandem with you to understand not only your risk and insurance service needs, but what you aspire to achieve as a company. We pride ourselves in being different in our approach to managing your risks and in making a difference—for our clients and the communities we serve.
Every day, your industry faces a new and growing world of risk. Pressures from the marketplace and the global political landscape only add to the perennial issues—from labor shortages and food safety to the rise of cyber crime and the need to upgrade security measures. It is for these reasons, and so many more, that our clients have chosen to partner with the industry professionals at Industria Risk & Insurance Services. Our deep understanding of the risks associated with their business, empower them to act, interact and react to the shifting trends of the industry.
When it comes to managing risk, you have five options: terminate, tolerate, treat, train and transfer. We terminate what we can, we tolerate what we must, and transfer what we can through the right insurance products and third-party out-sourcing contracts.
Whether you are looking for assistance with your on-site inspections and regulatory compliance training, or looking to go above and beyond the mandated programs by providing supervisory training, training in how to handle guest incidents, or simply improve upon your incident report writing skills, we are there with our “treat” and “train” expertise. We know, statistically, that the only effective way to treat and train these risk exposures is to attack them using a behavior-based loss control model, and that is where we really shine. And while we focus most of our efforts on pre-loss activities, when all else fails, we are also there with industry-focused claims advocacy and stewardship activities that go above and beyond annual renewals and quarterly reviews.
As a client of Industria Risk & Insurance Services, you are afforded invaluable insight and guidance in all aspects of claims management and resolution. Our objective is to ensure that the risk and insurance products we negotiate on your behalf respond as intended, with minimal delay and disruption to you.
Understanding that 95% of all employee and guest incidents are behavior-based, it is important that we address our loss control efforts with that statistic in mind. Our loss control model is consistent with the hospitality service philosophy and one of the most distinguishing characteristics of our firm.
Our approach emphasizes industry expertise, planning, teamwork, and tangible results. We are experienced in driving “best practice” initiatives to successful completion, using a multidisciplinary team of experts in the areas of program development and administration, data analysis, and risk information consulting. And although we are skilled at strategizing on the “big picture,” we pay close attention to the details in day-to-day activities and have found that embedding our behavior-based safety and loss control programs within the framework of your operations, creates a sense of ownership and loyalty across all levels of the client, broker and carrier team.
One of the most common misconceptions we see in the area of hospitality risk management is in the presumed similarities between the concepts of safety and security. While they both fit nicely under the umbrella of risk management, they are very different areas of risk.
In the world of hospitality and gaming, security efforts are largely directed toward front-of–the-house exposures—guest incidents and accidents, while our safety programs are geared more toward the heart-of–the-house addressing our employee safety practices. But how we handle guest and employee incidents from the moment they happen, have a significant impact on the overall outcome of the claim.
At Industria Risk & Insurance Services, it is our deep understanding of the industry and associated risks that have driven us to develop very specific training programs, tailored not only to the unique concepts of safety and security, but to the very specific risk exposures of our client portfolios and profiles.
Outlined below is a small sample of the training classes we have developed for several of our clients:
Each industry is mandated to comply with government regulated safety training as dictated by the specific risks associated with their risk exposures. As referenced in the Safety & Security Training Program Development section above, Regulatory Training & Compliance is one of the many services provided by Industria Risk & Insurance Services.
Whether you are a large hotel chain, a small restaurant group, a gaming operation, team sport or an entertainment venue, we know the regulated training required for your industry, and are prepared to develop a program, specifically tailored to your regulatory training needs and compliance mandates.
At Industria Risk & Insurance Services, there is no such thing as “check the box” safety. While a lot of safety and security questions and considerations can be addressed over the phone, performing on-site inspections isn’t among them. With over two decades of on-site safety inspection expertise, we know the importance of “walking” a property and the value it brings to our clients. We are also not using the time to point out what you’re doing wrong—we are there for you, and by extension for the health and well-being of your guests and employees.
From basic property claims, slip-and-fall incidents, and transportation faux pas, to the more complicated incidents surrounding bed bugs, identity theft and employee practices liability, we know the risks and more importantly, the insurance products that you will need to respond and protect you from the ever-evolving risk and insurance challenges faced by your unique industry today.
Industries face a host of risk exposures—exposures to loss and lawsuits that are unique to the multi-faceted businesses we operate within. With that in mind, it is important that our clients understand the full range of product offerings available to them, and the terms and conditions under which they are offered.
Because of their geography or other unique circumstances, a number or our clients are faced with exposures far exceeding the basics of property and casualty insurance in areas such as marine, environmental considerations, builder’s risk and international exposures, not to mention the more catastrophic weather-related exposures to named-storm, flooding and earthquake activity.
And being part of an industry dictated by the service levels provided by their employee population, they must also be fully aware of the sole remedy laws surrounding workers’ compensation, and the best ways to manage what can be a very complicated and arduous system; the laws of which are governed and dictated differently from state to state.

A contract, by definition, is a written or spoken agreement, especially one concerning employment, sales, or tenancy that is intended to be enforceable by law. In the world of hospitality and gaming, sports and entertainment, the word contract means all of that and so much more. Our clients know first-hand, the value our contract review and analysis abilities afford them.
Our team of experts at Industria Risk & Insurance Services takes a managed approach to contract review assuring our clients that the assumption of contractual liability is consistent with the organization’s risk management philosophy.

We are available to review, discuss, and provide contract review and input to your risk management and/or legal departments regarding the following:
Good, bad or indifferent, perception is reality. As with safety and security, brand and reputation are closely linked, but they are not synonymous. Think of your brand as the concept that motivates your customers and guests to visit, while your reputation is what motivates them to return. As once quoted by the MIT Sloan Management Review: “…brand is about relevancy and differentiation…reputation is about legitimacy.” In other words, you build your brand; you protect your reputation. That’s where we come in.
At Industria Risk & Insurance Services, our industry experts know first-hand, the perennial risks associated with your brand and reputation, and are dedicated to helping you protect it.
