How can contractor insurance protect you?
Use the yellow hot spots and explore how contractor insurance can help protect against common risks.
A good policy includes general liability that covers you against claims of damage or injury caused on site or to visitors on your own premises. Such costs can be immense and general liability insurance is often mandatory if you want to bid for government contracts.
You should also make sure that you protect your stock, machinery and equipment against damage or loss from fire, theft, flooding and other risks, both on-site and off-site. Just as importantly, you need to have insurance coverage against loss of income if you are unable to carry out work because your equipment is damaged.
Remember also to get workers’ compensation insurance, which is usually mandatory and protects employees against lost income and medical bills resulting from workplace injuries. You might be worried that the costs of a workers’ compensation policy will be high given the inherent risks of construction work, but many insurers will offer discounts if you follow safety programs.
