Why is Mining Contractors Insurance essential in Mount Isa?
Many mining contractors in Mount Isa provide essential services to mines including engineering, machining, fabrication, line boring, shutdown maintenance and more. It is crucial that your insurance protection is designed to extend coverage to all these business activities.
Running and operating a business in the mining industry comes with its own set of challenges exposing you, your colleagues and company to many risks. Whether it be an error made by a manager or an injured worker, one unfortunate event could result in phenomenal legal, financial and personal consequences.
Mining Contractors Insurance can provide Mount Isa mining contractors with the protection they need should things turn for the worse. It often consists of two main insurance policies: Professional Indemnity Insurance and Public Liability Insurance. Depending on the size and nature of your Mount Isa business, you may or may not need both. We will work with both you and the insurer to create a tailored policy that protects you from risks associated with your particular business.
Professional Indemnity Insurance: Professional Indemnity Insurance protects your mining-related business from claims made by your clients and customers against you as a result of the advice that you provide them. If your business provides advice or service for a fee then you will be deemed to be providing a professional service.
Public Liability Insurance protects your mining business if there is a claim against you for Personal Injury and/or Property damage due to your business activities. A Liability Insurance policy will cover you for your legal liability and will also extend to cover your legal defence costs to assist in defending the claim or settling the claim.
An example can be if a customer slips and falls on your campus and sues you for breaching your duty of care. In such cases, your insurance should then be able to help cover the potential costs associated with this.
