- Engineering insurance Inspection Process - Engineering Inspections are a vital part of our risk management approach to keep machinery and equipment in full working order, so that it is safe to use and to allow critical work, research and general activity to continue throughout campus. Through our insurers, inspections are carried out regularly by a competent engineer to highlight safety concerns or areas of non-compliance, which the university can then address through repair, or replacement.
