How does it protect you?
- Employers’ liability – Recycling & Waste Management Insurance covers the cost of legal action and any compensation awarded as a result of claims made by employees for work-related illnesses and injuries. If you employ staff, this is a legal requirement. The minimum legal requirement is £5,000,000 although most of our policies will cover you for £10,000,000.
- Public liability – Public Liability Insurance offers valuable protection for claims made against you for third party property damage or personal injuries to the general public. If you are a Skip Hirer and you place skips on the road, or in public places, you may be compulsory for you to have Public Liability Insurance. Levels of cover required by local authorities and councils vary, but these can be between £1,000,000 and £10,000,000.
- Business interruption – your gross profit is protected if you’re unable to operate at full capacity
- Buildings and contents – your cover includes plant insurance and the cost to repair or replace damaged machinery
