FIRE INSURANCE COVER

Our fire insurance policy, which includes explosion risks, is in the joint names of ourselves and also any hire of our equipment insofar as our own property is concerned. Our clients are, therefore, insured under our own fire policy and there is no need for them to arrange separate fire cover against damage to our property. Storm and gale damage risks we carry ourselves and we do not expect our clients to be responsible.

 

 

PUBLIC LIABILITY

Our insurance arrangements in respect of Public Liability risks again include the interest of any of our hirers, so that the claim brought against either ourselves or our clients alleging that injury or loss has been suffered because of some defect in our equipment or the method of erection or dismantling is automatically covered up to an amount of £2,000,000 in respect of any one accident. Our policy will not protect hirers in the event of a claim being made against them arising solely out of the use to which they put our equipment..
