Labour Hire businesses can experience claims involving placed workers, host employers, clients, regulators and their own internal operations.

Examples can include:

• A placed worker being injured
• A placed worker injuring another person
• Damage to host employer property
• Allegations that a worker was unsuitable
• Failure to complete agreed licence or qualification checks
• Recruitment or placement disputes
• Employment-related allegations
• Workplace safety investigations
• Wage or entitlement disputes
• Data breaches
• Business email compromise or cyber fraud
• Allegations involving host workplace assessments
• Contractual disputes with host employers

Can several policies be involved? #

Yes.

A single incident may involve several parties and several insurance policies.

For example, a workplace injury could potentially involve:

• Workers Compensation
• Public Liability
• Management Liability
• Regulatory investigations
• Contractual disputes

The relevant policy depends on the circumstances and allegations.

The responsibilities of the Labour Hire company and host employer can also affect the matter, although workplace safety duties cannot simply be transferred by contract.

If an incident, complaint or circumstance could develop into a claim, notify Webber Insurance promptly.
