How does insurance for health & safety consultants work?

As a health and safety consultant you will deliver first-class risk assessments as well as providing advice to your clients, all the while providing a professional and sound service. Should a client feel that you have failed to identify or remedy health and safety requirements in an inspection, have failed to advise appropriately, have misrepresented new legislation, or have failed to meet the standards of regulation or compliance. Then they may choose to place a claim against you, should they believe you have been negligent and have caused them damage in any way. Ensuring you have the correct cover in place with a comprehensive Health and Safety Consultants Insurance is vital for protecting you in the event that this happens.

With the help of The Insurance Octopus, you will be able to build a bespoke Health and Safety Consultants Insurance Policy built around the needs of your business, so you will only ever pay for the cover you want.

Why you need Health & Safety Consultants Insurance

As your business provides a professional health and safety service, your clients have an expectation of receiving expert guidance and good advice and assessments. If the assessments and consultations that you give are deemed to be insufficient or negligent, then a client could make a legal claim against you.

As a health and safety consultant, your service can shape a business significantly, meaning that the potential cost to your business if a claim is made can be high. As well as any resulting legal expenses there could also be compensation costs to pay if a claim against you is successful, both of which could be detrimental to your future success.

The Insurance Octopus can research options for including additional covers as required to ensure that you receive a business insurance package specifically tailored to your business needs. By working with a selection of UK insurers who provide the widest choice of PI insurance, we’ll help get you and your business protected in no time. It couldn’t be easier to get covered.
