Risk
and safety
Our commitment to and success in delivering
our risk and safety programme is part of our active risk management
programme and ensures lower insurance premium for our occupiers.
Health and safety improvement
implementation
In 2008 through our risk and safety programme we have ensured that
99.8% risk and safety improvements identified were completed on
time. This is verified by our Hermes annual audit process and our
insurance broker H W Wood auditing process.
Reduced insurance premiums
Our commitment to and success in
delivering our risk and safety programme can be seen in our combined
Property Damage and Property Owners Liability claim experience.
We are pleased to report that our insurers have advised us that
Hermes represent the standard of care against which all other property
investment organisations are judged. An independent report by a
leading insurance broker in the real estate sector, commissioned
in December 2008, has confirmed that Hermes claims record is one
of the lowest in the industry.

Best Commercial Risk and Safety – Cheapside
House
Cheapside House, a prestigious nine storey office
building managed by Jones Lang LaSalle and not far
from St.Paul's Cathedral won the Best Commercial property
award in 2008. The main office building is occupied
by four tenants but there is also an underground car
park for 21 cars and eight retail units at the front
of the building, all with their own private entrances.
The factors that contributed to Cheapside House's
success were just two "defects" found during
the Hermes annual audit and an extremely positive
approach by the Building Manager to risk and safety
matters on the site. In addition this property has
no material damage claims reported during the last
five years. |
