What Cover Do I Need For My Waste & Recycling Insurance Policy?

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability offers cover against a negligent injury or property damage that you cause to a member of the public because of your work. While many waste and recycling companies operate behind closed doors, those that work in public such as skip hire will have a greater risk of a claim relating to public liability.

Employers’ Liability insurance

If you employ workers you will require employers liability insurance, even if only part-time, temporary or contract cleaning staff. This can assist in covering the costs related to an employee being injured while working for and then deciding to take legal action as a result.

Machinery & Plant Machinery

Integral to any operation within this sector, your machinery is essential and as such must be considered when creating a policy. Common risk factors involved include accidents, theft and fire-related damage. The cover itself will need to fit your business’s operation, with contingencies available for machinery in transit, off-site storage, hired machinery as well as that which is permanently used on-site.

Environmental Impairment Liability

Naturally, when working with waste and recycling materials there is a risk of contamination of your or a third parties’ environment. Environmental impairment liability can assist in covering costs involved when such incidents occur including clean up, claims for property damage, injuries, legal costs and even reputation management. These can potentially be factored into your policy to provide you with the correct level of protection. 

Business Interruption Insurance

When damage or unforeseen events do occur the financial strain on your business can be significant. Damages caused by fire, flood and even accidental incidents can prove a basis for cover under business interruption insurance, our experts will work with you to understand the most likely risks and provide adequate coverage.

Some of the often excluded areas include:

  • Asbestos and lead-based paint
  • Nuclear related hazards
