How does SciShield serve as a loss control?

SciShield mitigates risk and protects revenue. Our system automates safety processes, simplifies regulatory reporting, and uses hazard-based profiles to shine the light on key areas of risk that are hard to see.

The SciShield platform reduces dependence on fragmented systems and cumbersome manual methods, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of scientists, safety teams, and complex reports.

Our system is utilized by leading life sciences organizations, U.S. government facilities, and over 100 academic institutions, including 37 R1 institutions (and counting) to manage risk and safety compliance. 

What is a loss control?

At a high level, a loss control is a risk management solution designed to reduce the frequency and severity of an event that causes a loss.

In the context of the Research Enterprise, loss control measures focus on mitigating large sources of facility and laboratory risk, to the lasting benefit of both the organization and its insurer.
