For scaffolding professionals-safety is paramount. While education is central to creating a culture of safety, businesses must further minimize risk with the appropriate insurance protection. This new insurance product from Allied and ProSight is an ideal solution for businesses looking to fully safeguard themselves.

Allied and ProSight are not only showing their commitment to the scaffold industry, they are showing their commitment to the scaffold workers. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), it is estimated the 65 percent of construction workers spend some time working on scaffolding, with the number one hazard being worker falls. This program and its risk management services are aimed at increasing the overall safety of the equipment and reducing the likely hood of worker accidents.

"With over 30 years of experience within the scaffold industry, we have seen it all and truly understand scaffold risk management," said Marty O'Brien, Allied's Chairman & CEO. "That very experience, along with ProSight's resources, allowed us to assemble a program that covers all facets of scaffolding risks. It's truly the only one like it in the industry. Plus the risk management services will only help strengthen scaffold companies by making them safer, more profitable organizations. This is what we at Allied like to do…contribute to the industry by providing the best options available."

By partnering with Allied, ProSight is able to apply over three decades of knowledge and experience to their unique and innovative solutions that are designed to offer highly customized products and services within one product offering.

"ProSight is fully committed to the scaffold industry. That's why we're excited about our partnership with Allied, who lend 30 years of expertise in the space. As partners, we're able to deliver a customized product offering to a niche that we truly see as the backbone of the construction industry," said Jake Morin Program Executive for several of ProSight's Construction programs.
