Contractors All Risk and Tools Insurance Overview
For both contractors and employers, a contractors’ all risk insurance policy is required so each party can make a claim should there be any damage to the property, injuries or accidents. This type of policy ensures that a whole project is covered including all parties involved so that there is effective coverage in place regardless of who caused the damage.
If you are undertaking a construction project or are working on a project as a contractor, then it is important to protect yourself from the risk of third-party injury or damage as well as issues such as damage to the property
which may include poor construction.
Another benefit of contractor’s all risk policies is that they will often include subcontractors as the third party, so if any subcontractor is injured while working on site of the construction project, they will be covered by
the insurance policy and have a right to claim.
Standard options on a contractors’ all risk policy will usually include risks such as fire, flood, earthquakes, mould and water damage. Construction faults, negligence and damage, are also usually included but aspects such as poor workmanship and wear and tear as well as wilful neglect are not, so it’s important to make sure your quote covers all of the aspects you need.
