What insurance do electricians need?
Public liability insurance is often an important cover for electricians and most other trades, in case someone is injured or their property damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.
If you have employees, contractors, casual workers or temporary staff, you’re required by law to take out employers’ liability insurance. It’ll cover claims from employees who’ve been injured or become seriously ill as a result of working for you.
Personal accident insurance is particularly important for electricians as it covers serious injury, paying out for the likes of medical costs and lost income. Working as an electrician comes with certain risks and this cover should be considered if you would struggle to make ends meet if left unable to work following an accident.
Other covers available to electricians include tool insurance, plant and machinery insurance and business equipment insurance.
