You’d be crazy not to !!!
As a Shot Blasting, you’re often working at client premises or on site with tools and equipment. Public liability insurance helps protect your business if a third party claims you caused injury or property damage linked to your work.
In plain English: it’s cover for claims made by people outside your business (clients, neighbours, passers‑by) if something goes wrong during your work.
What public liability can cover
- Third‑party injury claims arising from accidents connected to your work.
- Damage to third‑party property (customer premises, neighbouring property, vehicles).
- Legal defence costs and associated expenses (subject to policy terms).
- Everyday working risks where the public or clients are nearby.
- Claims linked to your operations while working at premises you don’t own.
Examples of claims we see
Example: while working at client premises or on site, a piece of materials or a tool is dropped and damages a client’s property. The customer asks you to pay for repairs and makes a formal claim.
- Injury example: A visitor trips over equipment you’ve left in a walkway and is injured.
- Damage example: Spilled materials stain flooring or soft furnishings and require replacement.
- Another common scenario: Equipment you’re using causes accidental damage to nearby items.
Common cover limits
Choose a limit that matches your contracts and exposure. Working in busy public areas or higher‑value premises often means opting for a higher indemnity limit.
Other cover to consider
- Product Liability (If Supplying Goods) — cover for the job in progress, materials, plant or kit (depending on the cover type).
- Tools Cover — useful if you rely on specialist equipment to work.
- Product liability — worth considering if you sell or supply products as part of your service.
- Employers’ liability — If anyone works under your direction, EL insurance (employers’ liability) can be important in addition to public liability cover.
