Employers must have employers liability insurance for their staff, but this will not include customers or members of the public. This is where you are recommended to look at taking out public liability insurance.
If you are an events organiser, it is best to ensure that the events insurance includes public liability cover. You will probably know that organising an event means juggling many things at the same time and there are many things that may ruin your plans. Public liability will cover you against a variety of eventualities including cancellation, bad weather, equipment failure, travel and technical difficulties.
There is also a significant amount of risk involved for tradesmen. Not only do they carry a great deal of dangerous tools and equipment along with them, they are very often in a different home or workplace every day.
If an accident occurs whilst on the job, a claim against them can be substantial, whether it's a home or office that is damaged, or someone is injured. When you operate a business which involves undertaking work like building, plumbing, roofing, electrics or plastering, it's important to have public liability cover.
Not only does it protect you against claims, it will also help boost business. Many potential customers will want proof of insurance before giving you the job. If they see that you have public liability insurance, there's a better chance of landing the contract.
