Reduce Liability & Lower Insurance Risk

Routine planned maintenance doesn’t just prevent downtime — it helps reduce liability and can contribute to lower insurance premiums.

When doors, docks, and safety systems are neglected, businesses face increased risk of:

  • Equipment-related injuries
  • Property damage from malfunctioning systems
  • Fire code violations or compliance failures

Proper documentation of inspections and testing — especially on fire-rated doors, levelers, and restraints — can serve as proof of due diligence in the event of an incident or claim.

According to risk management studies and insurer guidelines:

  • Regular building maintenance is one of the top contributors to lowered commercial property insurance claims (Zurich Canada, FM Global)
  • Fire door compliance and fall-prevention systems are often evaluated during commercial underwriting reviews
  • Facilities with documented PMs may qualify for preferred rates or fewer policy restrictions depending on carrier

Wilcox helps you stay ahead of the risk with verifiable, professional service documentation, digital reporting, and routine safety checks.  

Safety Comes First

Every PMP visit is performed by trained, unionized Wilcox technicians. Our teams are certified in:

  • Working at heights
  • Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
  • Confined space awareness
  • Fall protection
  • Electrical safety (ESA compliant)

All inspections follow CSA and OHSA best practices and are backed by documented Job Hazard Assessments. 

Customized Schedules & Packages

No two facilities are the same. We build your PMP around your:

  • Facility size and traffic patterns
  • Type of equipment and application
  • Seasonal usage and environmental demands
  • Operational risk and insurance requirements

We offer monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual plans — or create one tailored just for your needs.
