Office Insurance & PCCC Fire Dept

Office and business insurance are compulsory by law for public places. The PCCC fire department is checking your public liability insurance.

Office and business insurance is compulsory

The fire dept PCCC is enforcing the law on office and business insurance for minimum public liability coverage. Especially public places should be insured, it is enforced yearly by visit of PCCC, your district fire dept.

Business insurance is becoming compulsory for all

Recently, Vietnam laws impose 3rd party liability insurance for businesses greeting public visitors. Every year, the PCCC fire dept will visit your premises and require valid your business insurance. With recent massive fires in factories and buildings, the real-estate management request proof of insurance

With more fire and polluting cases, office and factories insurance are compulsory to protect the public.

At first, the yearly visit of the Fire dept will inspect that you have purchased compulsory third party insurance, especially if you are open to the public. More and more office building or industrial zone management will require that you purchase insurance. Some property management companies do not purchase any kind of insurance for the common areas. If your place is damaged or burnt, you should rely on your own insurance to refund your own premises and people, the public… and sometimes the common area may become your concern too. If you are the owner, we suggest you ask the property management company if they have purchased building insurance as per law, and check what is included or not. Focus on your property refundable and the 3rd party exposure left to you, whoever is responsible.

A sector plagued by Claim frauds

Some new insurers may take on a risk they are ill prepared to refund.

Vietnamese are not strong financially; in most cases they are state-owned companies belonging to the Ministry of Finance. As they discover risk, they amend their refund procedure yearly as they face the problems, without notice.

As insurance laws do not exist to protect the clients, insurers are deemed a business like any other, it takes experience to understand the rules of the insurers and who applies the best practices to preserve their clientele and reputation.
