The Cost of Rope Access Insurance

This is all based on your perceived risk level. Each business is treated individually and assessed on its own merit.

Therefore, it is vital that we understand your business and your safety procedures, so that we can portray your business correctly to insurers.

If you have had claims, then we need to discuss what has been implemented to improve risk management.

As you can imagine, higher-risk locations often mean a higher premium, more employees can mean a higher premium, and a poor claims history can increase the cost of cover.

Advice on What Liability Limit to Select

Unfortunately, this is where we need to consider worst-case scenarios.
When selecting your indemnity limit, you need to consider what the maximum payout may be following a catastrophic incident.

With liability claims, these can range from a few thousand pounds to millions.

Common Public Liability (PL) cover limits range from £1 million to £10 million, but we have also had requests up to £20 million on an any-one-claim basis.

Often there is a contractual requirement from the principal contractor, so it is important to check what they require in the first instance.

Additional Cover We Recommend

We can include additional cover for your business, including:

– Tools and plant insurance

– Business equipment

– Laptops and portable electronics

– Personal accident cover

– Legal expenses

– Excess reimbursement protection
