Investigation of Escape of Water Claims

The Insurance Institute of Perth & Dundee is delighted to announce that your next CPD talk will be a face to face event at Aviva’s office in Perth. John Holland from Hawkins Forensic Scientists will discuss the investigation of escape of water claims.

By the end of the session you will understand that forensics is not just for working out who or what “dunnit” but it can play an important part in successful claims handling. Is the claim genuine? What is the cause? Who is to blame and is there a recovery against a manufacturer or contractor?

Learning objectives
By attending this event delegates will be able to identify:

• The requirements of the Scottish Water Byelaws with respect to plumbing installations
• The common components used in domestic plumbing installations and their common failure modes
• Understanding how and when to involve forensic consultants on a loss

John Holland is the Regional Manager of Hawkins Glasgow office and a mechanical engineer. He specialises in the investigation of fires, explosions, engineering failures and road traffic accidents. As a mechanical engineer, John is now heavily involved in investigating escape of water claims across domestic, commercial and industrial risks.

Delegates must bring photo ID on the day of the seminar as the front desk at Aviva will require sight of this as part of their internal security procedures.
