What Does Scaffolding Liability Insurance Cover?
Public Liability (up to £10,000,000)
Despite all modern safety requirements, most scaffolding jobs can create a potential risk to the general public. This makes public liability insurance well worth considering, even if it isn’t a legal requirement. It will cover you for any claims against damage, loss or injury to third parties by your scaffolding installation. If you are proved to be at fault this will cover the cost of compensation.
Employers Liability
As scaffolding does have a unique set of risks it is important to get the right cover for your employees. Unlike public liability, employers liability is a legal requirement in the UK. This will cover claims from employees in case of any accidents that your employees may have onsite that cause bodily injury or damages.
Indemnity to Principal
As a contractor you will be required to provide an indemnity to a principal. This will be including within the liability cover and is required for most contracting companies. If you are a contractor and have any contractual requirements relating to insurance which you do not fully understand please get in touch with our insurance experts.
