Public Liability - Steel Erector

Steel Erector Business Insurance is a legal requirement if you own or are planning to set up a Steel Erector business. Similarly, if you work as a sole trader as a Steel Erector you will also require specific steel erector business insurance cover.

Steel erection companies are in high demand and, as is the case with all building businesses, there are particular dangers that occur during normal working practices. Because steel erection is a construction business there are a number of dangerous aspects to activities that do not affect other businesses. It is therefore imperative that you have the right insurance in place to protect your business, you and your colleagues in case accidents occur.

The right insurance for your Steel Erection business

As a steel erector you will be working alongside a number of fellow construction professionals, often at busy and dangerous worksites. Whether you are working for yourself, as a sole trader, or you own a larger business, there are a number of things to consider in terms of insurance needs. Our insurance experts are more than happy to discuss your particular business in order to ensure that your insurance needs are met.

Some Steel Erector Businesses do not realise is that there is a need, just as with any business which deals with the public, for Public Liability Insurance that is specific for this industry. There are many potential accidents or pitfalls which may arise that need the right cover in place to ensure the on-going success of your business, whether you are a sole trader or have a larger company.

For example, Steel Erectors often work on construction sites that are busy and near to areas where members of the public may be – such as walkways and other thoroughfares. Often the job of a Steel Erector involves working from a height and if some of the steel work you are working with, or any other work tools or materials for that matter, were to fall and injure a member of the public you may be liable for damages.

Sometimes your job may involve the use of operating cranes, and if an accident were to occur with a steel girder hitting an adjacent building again without dedicated public liability insurance as part of wider Steel Erector business insurance you may be made liable for any damages that may occur to the building or to a member of the public.

Those are just two examples of issues that can go wrong involving the public which is why having Public Liability Insurance is so vital for any public facing business. With Steel Erector businesses, however, the risks may be higher due to the many large-scale projects that you are likely to be involved in, as well as the perceived increased level of risk associated with the business in general.

While health and safety measures in operation on construction sites are of a high standard there is still a risk for an accident to occur and you will be protecting yourself, your employees and your business by having specialist Steel Erector Business Insurance in place.
