How do you determine if our site receives a virtual or in-person risk control visit?
When AmTrust Risk Control calls to set the initial appointment, you will be notified whether this will be an in-person or virtual visit.
How do I confirm that the call received to complete a Virtual+ Risk Control Visit was from a legitimate AmTrust Risk Control Representative and not a hack or phishing attempt?
Please call AmTrust Risk Control Knowledge Center at 888.486.7466.
What technology is needed to use this service?
The only thing needed is a smartphone or tablet with a camera. Our technology is compatible with both Android and iPhone devices.
Do I need to download an app?
There is no need to download an app or any software. Simply click the link we text or email. After the virtual walkthrough concludes, the text/link can be deleted.
Is this process secure? How broad is your phone access?
Yes, this process is extremely secure. AmTrust can’t see anything on the device except the camera view (similar to a video conferencing call).
Will data or photos be stored on my phone?
Photos taken during the visit are instantly uploaded and stored by AmTrust. Nothing is stored on your phone.
Is someone tech-savvy needed to run the camera?
Not at all. The person who is most knowledgeable about the worksite’s risk prevention procedures should participate. This should be the same person who has facilitated our in-person risk prevention surveys. This person will answer our questions and follow our instructions to hold/point the camera. We will remotely access the camera to take the photos.
Can we ask questions?
Yes, questions can be asked and interaction with our team is done in the same way one would during an in-person visit. Remote risk control visits provide the same collaborative, consultative experience that clients receive during an in-person visit.
Will we be asked to access unsafe areas during the Virtual+ Risk Control Visit?
Your safety is imperative, AmTrust will never request or require you to access areas that are unsafe. Inform the Risk Control Representative if you feel unsafe at any time, you will not need to access the area.
