Public Liability Insurance

Public Liability Insurance is a common type of business insurance that protects companies against liabilities for third party injuries or their property.

This type of cover is particularly important if you are working near other people and their property which of course you will be in the construction industry. This should be renewed every 12 months.

This is wide-branching in the construction industry as there may be a number of additional factors and risks that you will need to consider when construction projects are conducted around the general public.

This can also serve to protect stakeholders, site visitors and other individuals that may be affected by the risks or an accident occurring and provides peace of mind that the business is covered in case of an incident.

Product Liability Insurance

Product liability insurance protects you against liability for injury to people and their property which arises from the products you supply, manufacturer or import. If you supply, manufacture or import any products, this is the perfect cover for you.

Employer Liability Insurance

Employers liability insurance is compulsory for employers, regardless of if the employee is permanent, temporary, volunteer, contractor or freelance. The minimum level of protection will cover the cost of compensation claims if staff get injured or fall as a result of carrying out their required duties.
