RCT is a risk engineering software platform specific to the insurance industry.

AXA XL’s Construction Risk Engineering team will use the platform to collect information from their on-going risk assessments of clients’ jobsites. During a risk assessment, risk engineers evaluate a jobsite’s overall risk, pinpoint possible exposures and make recommendations for corrective actions that may help minimize the risk and prevent a loss. Risk engineers will input their observations into the RCT platform to generate a report which will be emailed to clients.
