Committed to fulfil your commercial insurance needs

As a scaffolding contractor you will often be working in a variety of different construction surroundings. In addition to large scale construction sites your work may take you to new build housing projects, schools, hospitals and more commercial sites. Often, you will work in and around private homes – when loft or conservatory extensions are required for example. With such a number of different work locations you will need to ensure that you have the right type and level of insurance cover for your business. If you work specifically on commercial projects your insurance requirements will be different to those for someone who works as a scaffolding contractor on private houses. Both scenarios will require public liability insurance.

This is a specific type of insurance that protects you against any litigation that may be brought about by a member of the public. As a scaffolding contractor there are many instances where this has the potential to happen so it is always better to be safe and have the right level of insurance in place for your needs.

If you are installing some scaffolding at a person’s home, for instance, they will possibly remain in residence while you are working. If a piece of scaffolding falls and injures the inhabitants, or even if you or a member of your team accidently bump into a member of the public on the pavement outside a house while collecting something from your van, you may be held responsible and therefore liable for a damage claim. You may be held responsible too for property damage as well as personal damage. For instance, if you are building scaffolding for a house extension and some scaffolding falls and damages a client’s garden furniture, or even the roof of their home you will be held liable. There is also of course the risk of scaffolding collapsing during high winds, another scenario in which a negligence claim may be made against you.

Even if your main work is on commercial buildings there will still be occasions when sites are visited by members of the public or the site itself may be near a public area and so having public liability insurance will protect you and your business if an accident were to occur involving a member of the public.

Because building scaffolding is a relatively dangerous job, having the right level of Scaffolding Contractor Instance to protect you is a business necessity. If you were to fall and could not work for a period of time, having personal insurance would be able to cover your loss of earnings during this time. In addition you are likely to have a commercial vehicle as well as specific business equipment and you will need to protect this with the right amount of insurance cover. Also, if you own your business and employ others to work for you employer’s inability insurance will also be required. There are clearly multiple types of insurance that may be needed for your Scaffolding Contractor business and so by having a specific Scaffolding Contractor Insurance policy you will be able to protect yourself, your staff and your business against any eventuality.
