Thus including this aspect in the risk management philosophy of the company has become a practice.
Moreover considering the manufacturing risks now days due to use of certain materials/equipments, high concentration of estimated liability at one place like the surrounding area of the industrial setup, if any mishap occurs then chances of damage to surrounding property is high both in terms of severity and quantum.
Visitors like clients, officials for regulatory bodies, other visitors etc also pose a risk as high profiled visitors may turn out to be high exposure to liability lest they suffer anything due to their visit to the premises.
