New Asbestos Removal Insurance
At Insurance Experts, we understand the unique challenges faced by businesses in various industries. As a leading independent insurance broker focussing on commercial and specialist insurance, we’re thrilled to announce the expansion of our portfolio to include Asbestos Removal Insurance as well as other associated high risk liability occupations. This comprehensive cover protects your business and employees from the financial repercussions of asbestos-related liabilities arising during removal projects.
Why is Asbestos Removal Insurance crucial?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre and was widely used in construction materials until the late 20th century. Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos fibres can cause severe health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Therefore, safe and proper asbestos removal is essential when dealing with older buildings or structures.
The Risks
For companies specialising in asbestos removal, even a single incident of illness or injury can have devastating consequences. Without proper insurance, your business could face:
• High medical costs: Asbestos-related illnesses often require extensive treatment, leading to significant financial burdens.
• Legal fees: If a worker develops an asbestos-related illness, they may file legal action against your company. Legal defence and potential settlements can be extremely expensive.
• Premises/Contract Works: All Risks cover for the premises whilst being worked upon as well as any plant and machinery on the site used to complete the contract.
• Business interruption: Claims and investigations can disrupt your business operations, impacting project completion and revenue generation.
