Why Do You Need
Carpenter’s Insurance?
Carpentry often takes place in finished rooms and busy workplaces, using sharp tools, fixings and power equipment. A slip, dropped board or misplaced screw can lead to damage or injury. Public liability insurance can help with compensation claims, tools and equipment cover can help you replace stolen or damaged kit, and employers liability is important if you have staff, helping you meet your legal duties and deal with employee claims.
