Asbestos Liability Insurance is important for any business that may disturb or be exposed to asbestos during the course of their work.
This often includes trades such as:
- Building and construction
- Demolition
- Renovation or refurbishment
- Plumbing and electrical work
- Environmental and site remediation services
Even if you are not licensed to remove asbestos, you can still be held responsible if your work disturbs it. Exposure can result in:
- Health-related claims from workers or third parties
- Expensive site clean-up and decontamination costs
- Legal action due to non-compliance with safety regulations
- Fines & other penalties
If you work on older buildings or sites where asbestos may be present, it is worthwhile to review your risk.
