It can however also cover people like IT professionals or freelancers alike and not just those within a trade.
It is also important that contractors insurance offers you versatility to take into account your ever changing work situation and the different locations to which you will work.
What insurance do contractors require?
Professional Indemnity Insurance should definitely be considered especially if you give advice. In the event you offer faulty advice and then there are costs incurred with putting right anything bad from that advice, a professional indemnity policy will protect you.
Public Liability Insurance is strongly suggested when working in the public domain. Construction sites can be busy and fast moving places where accidents can easily happen. Should an accident happen to a member of the public as a result of either you or an employee of yours, public liability insurance is there to protect you.
Employers Liability Insurance is a legal requirement if you employ people whether it be full time or on a casual basis. This cover will ensure that you are protected from claims arising from your employees who injure themselves of fall seriously ill whilst working for you.
