The importance of having the correct insurance package if you're a site contractor

You’ll be moving from site to site and need to make sure you’re fully protected everywhere you go.

Not having cover can cost more than you think

The 3 most common accidents that occur on building sites involve falling from a height, tripping or slipping and being hit by a falling object. In 2014/15 there were 35 fatalities.

If the worst was to happen, you wouldn’t have the backing and support of a company if someone was to put in a claim against you and if you employ others, there are huge consequences if you fail to have Employers Liability Insurance. You could be fined £2500 a day, whether your employees are permanent or casual. This could result in your company folding so it’s vital you make sure that you’re protected.
