What is Public Liability Insurance for Electricians?
Public liability insurance offers cover if a person is injured or their property is damaged due to your work. This type of insurance is crucial for electricians, as accidents can lead to significant compensation claims and costly legal fees.
A public liability insurance policy from ABA Insurance helps protect you financially and provides peace of mind that your business is safeguarded against unforeseen incidents.
Do You Need Public Liability Insurance if You’re an Electrician?
UK law doesn’t mandate public liability insurance for electricians or electrical contractors, but it’s highly advisable. As a registered electrician, you comply with safety regulations to protect people from electric shocks and fire, but accidents can still happen.
According to the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) report, “Workplace Fatal Injuries in Great Britain 2021,” there were nine fatal injuries due to contact with electricity in 2020-2021. Even experienced electricians can face litigation, making public liability insurance a wise investment.
Why You Should Consider Public Liability Insurance:
Client Requirements
Many clients, including local authorities, require proof of public liability cover before hiring.
Contractor Policies
If you work as an electrical sub-contractor, having your own public liability policy is often essential to get hired by project managers and main contractors.
