Risk Engineering

Risk Engineering deals with the identification, management and monitoring of risks relating to the insurance of property. In contrast to our loss specialists, whose analysis and assessment work begins once an incident of loss has occurred, our risk engineers are concerned with prevention of that loss.

Whether you require risk surveys, desktop analyses or an evaluation of the improvements necessary, TÜV AUSTRIA SCHREINER provides unbiased expertise. We use our decades of experience of loss assessments, evaluations and safety engineering to provide you with a comprehensive solution.

They say ‘we learn from our mistakes’, but TÜV AUSTRIA EXPERT SERVICES will ensure that you don’t need to. Our decades of experience with loss assessments make prevention the cure.
