Frequently asked questions
A
Your role potentially carries one of the highest risk aspects in construction, so you need to be prepared for the unexpected. Having comprehensive groundworker insurance cover in place is essential to protect yourself and your business from any damage caused by your work. If your tools are damaged or stolen, you would have to pay to repair or replace them without insurance; potentially, this would be a significant cost to your business. Your tools could also pose a hazard to members of the public. As a groundworker, you should have groundwork public liability insurance in place to protect against risks that may cause injury to the public or your customers. If you employ staff, you're legally required to have employers liability insurance. Professional indemnity insurance will cover any legal costs and damages that you could be liable for should you or your business make a mistake.
