Public & Products Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance is fundamental for any tradesperson operating as a business owner or subcontractor. Across all trades, accidents can happen despite your best efforts. If a mishap occurs and leads to property damage or injury to a third party, you could face expensive legal claims and the potential costs of repairs or medical bills. Public Liability Insurance is intended to help cover these costs.

Claims Example

Suppose you’re an electrician, and while installing lighting fixtures, an apprentice accidentally falls through and damages the client’s ceiling. Public Liability Insurance is intended to cover the repair costs, safeguarding you from the financial burden.

Tools & Equipment Insurance

Your tools are essential for your livelihood. Tools and Equipment Insurance covers the cost of replacing or repairing your tools in case they are stolen or damaged.

Tool theft is a common issue faced by all trades. This coverage means you can promptly replace stolen tools and resume work with minimal downtime. When selecting this cover, make sure that you know your requirements around locking up your tools.

Commercial Motor Vehicle Insurance

As a Tradie, your vehicle is often not just a mode of transport, but also mobile storage for your tools. Commercial Motor Vehicle Insurance can cover your vehicle (and the modifications made for your trade) along with any trailers and other road registered items.

Not all cover is created equal. Make sure your business vehicles are insured correctly to ensure you have access to benefits such as signwriting and hire vehicles. It is also important to understand your policy coverage so that you know who from your business is insured to drive your vehicle/s.

Plant & Equipment Insurance

Plant & Equipment Insurance can provider cover for a range if different construction equipment such as bobcats, forklifts, trailers, and excavators. If you own, hire in, lease or hire out any plant or equipment, it is important to make sure that you have the correct insurance in place.

Under this type of insurance policy, you have the ability to insure plant and equipment for theft and damage, breakdown, consequential financial losses, transit, etc.
