What insurance do refrigeration engineers need?

The insurance you decide you need depends on the risks you want to cover, but these are some insurance types that are likely to be useful.

Professional indemnity insurance can cover you if you’re negligent or make a mistake in your work that causes your client to lose money. For example a fault in one of your designs means a refrigeration system doesn’t function properly, and your client claims compensation from you. Your professional indemnity insurance could cover the cost of the legal fees and compensation payment.

Public liability insurance protects you against compensation claims made by a member of the public for injury or damage caused by your business. For example while installing a refrigeration system, you drop a tool and damage the floor. Your client could sue you for the cost of repairing the damage, and your public liability insurance could cover the cost of compensation and legal fees.

Employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement for most businesses that have staff. It can pay compensation claims if an employee sues you for work-related injury or illness.

Other covers you can choose to add to your insurance policy include tools insurance, business buildings insurance, business contents insurance and business legal protection insurance.
