HSB OnSight®

HSB OnSight® risk observation service provides information to our client insurers about property-casualty risk conditions that HSB inspectors observe while conducting boiler or pressure vessel inspections. If a risk condition is noted, HSB provides a report and a digital photo of the issue. HSB OnSight® helps our clients to better understand the risk conditions of individual accounts to support underwriting and facilitate loss prevention.

Transformer Oil Gas Analysis (TOGA®) and Lubricating Oil Analysis

HSB's TOGA® service analyzes transformer insulating oil to provides a predictive indication of a unit’s likelihood to fail. TOGA is also used for analysis of lubricating and hydraulic oil from mechanical equipment to indicate if the unit may be in distress. HSB's Lubricating Oil Analysis assesses the properties of oil to determine the status of equipment. An interactive website provides secure access to test results for each customer. HSB Specialists provide interpretive reports and consultation for each test conducted. Learn more about HSB's TOGA® Program at www.HSBTOGA.com.

Infrared Thermographic Surveys of Equipment

HSB Infrared surveys are used to find abnormal or unexpected temperatures indicative of problems with equipment using thermographic color technology. This technology will predict when equipment is operating outside of normal parameters. HSB's color reports highlight areas on equipment where anomalies are found and the estimated costs to repair. A qualified HSB thermographer reviews each report and provides interpretive and consultative advice to customers. Learn more about HSB's Thermography Services.
