Mining and resources claims can involve people, property, vehicles, plant, professional services or environmental damage. A single incident may need to be notified under more than one policy.

Common examples #

• damage to owned, hired or principal-owned plant
• motor vehicle and mobile plant incidents
• damage to a mine site’s property or infrastructure
• injury to workers, visitors or third parties
• theft of tools, equipment or materials
• alleged errors in design, reports, advice or project services
• pollution or environmental incidents
• contract disputes that include insured allegations

Relevant policies may include Public Liability, Professional Indemnity, Plant and Equipment, Commercial Motor, Business, Environmental Liability or workers compensation. Whether a policy responds depends on the facts, cause, timing, insured activities and policy terms.

Responding to an incident #

Prioritise safety, follow site reporting procedures and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Preserve photographs, reports, contracts, witness details and correspondence.

Notify Webber Insurance promptly, even if no formal claim has been made. Do not admit liability, agree to a settlement or dispose of important evidence without guidance from the relevant insurer.
