Asbestos Liability Insurance provides cover for businesses that may face risks associated with asbestos exposure, whether through handling, removal, accidental disturbance, or contamination during other work activities. 

Standard public liability, motor vehicle, and workers’ compensation policies generally exclude claims related to asbestos. If your work involves buildings constructed before asbestos bans (December 2003 in Australia), Asbestos Liability cover is worth serious consideration, even if you’re not an asbestos removalist. Any tradesperson on site can inadvertently disturb asbestos.

Asbestos Liability can help protect against claims for personal injury, property damage, or environmental cleanup costs resulting from accidental exposure or disturbance. Policies are typically tailored to the type of asbestos risk and the industry in which you operate.
