Asbestos Contractors Insurance

We recognise the high risk that asbestos removal contractors and companies face every day, and can provide comprehensive policies that can protect you, your employees and your company should any incidents occur.

Why do asbestos removal contractors need insurance?

As with all construction work, asbestos contractors work in high-risk situations every day. Asbestos is a hazardous and potentially life-threatening chemical, associated with many health risks, which is why asbestos removal is classed as a ‘high-risk’ trade. This means that contractors and companies need to have specialist insurance to ensure they are covered should any accidents occur. This includes non-licensed asbestos contractors who only come into contact with small doses sporadically.

What does Asbestos Contractors Insurance cover?

Running a high-risk business such as an asbestos removal company means that you need to protect against any potential losses that may arise. An employee could be injured at work and take legal action, in which case you’d need employee liability insurance which also alleviates the financial pressures that come with legal action. Some recommended insurance for asbestos removal services are:

Coverage for your equipment

The equipment you use in your business is important, so it is equally important that you protect against any losses should your equipment break, get stolen or be lost. Coverage can include construction equipment, tools, machinery and even cars and vans.

Employers’ Liability Insurance (EL insurance)

EL – is a legal requirement if you have any staff, full-time, part-time or contracted. EL insurance protects employers’ from compensation claims from their employees should a claim be made against them for loss or injury at work. Your policy must have a minimum of £5m cover, with £10m being the industry standard.

Public liability insurance

If a member of the public is injured or their property damaged while on your premises, you can be held liable. Public liability insurance will protect you financially should you be sued for damages.
