FAQ

Public Liability Insurance provides protection for claims made against Insured Annual Members for their legal liability to pay compensation, costs and expenses in respect of accidental;
- Personal Injury
- Damage to Property
- Obstruction, trespass, nuisance or interfere4nce with any right of way, air, light or water in connection with their business activities.

As long as Insured Annual Members are working on the equipment on the third parties’ premises, location or production/event site, then the Public Liability policy will respond.

If Insured Annual Members take the third party equipment back to their own premises, then the equipment will be deemed in their custody and control, and excluded by our PL policy. Insured Annual Members would need to insure this separately on these occasions if they ever arose.

No, you would need to arrange Hired in Equipment insurance for Hired in Equipment and Own Equipment insurance for equipment you own.

There is cover for claims arising from the activity of Insured Annual Members using soldering irons in connection with their business activities.

The same exclusions and conditions of cover apply in North America, that apply for cover for Insured Annual Members working elsewhere in the world.

One thing to note is that the maximum Insurers will pay, inclusive of Costs & Expenses in North America (& Canada) is the Limit of Indemnity.

You need to provide full details to [email protected] where Performance will consider whether cover can be provided to you.

Performance can consider providing cover for work at heights exceeding 10metres and have done so on various occasions before. In order to consider providing cover they will need to understand

• What you are doing?
• How has the risk been assessed? (I.e is their a risk assessment, if so please provide a copy)
