What is Public Liability Insurance?
When you're working on a job there are plenty of potential risks and hazards - not just to you and other tradespeople but also to the public. From tools and materials left lying around to exposed work areas close to the public, there is always the chance of an accident. Public liability insurance is designed to protect you and your business against claims from customers or members of the public.
