In the UK, manufacturing is big business. The sector is one of our largest employers and makes a huge contribution to the British economy. Which is why when something goes wrong, the impact can be significant. As well as the business itself, its supply chain or the broader economy may feel the effect. And, with so many moving parts, there is a good chance something will go wrong at some point. Insurance for manufacturing industry, therefore, is vital. It isn’t something any manufacturing business can do without.
Complexities of manufacturing plant insurance
Because businesses produce goods in so many different ways, insurance that works for one business won’t necessarily work for another. To make sure they get it right, therefore, businesses should talk to an insurance broker, one who understands what they need and can get them the right policy at the right price.
This policy (or a combination of policies, depending on the business) should cover them if the business is unable to operate for any reason. Their factory, or warehouse, for example, might not be available due to fire or flood. Damage to equipment that produces goods will also stop a business operating. Insurance can cover the cost or repair replacement.
Businesses need to think about cover for accidents or injuries. They must, by law, have Employer’s Liability Insurance, which covers them if their employees are hurt, and they (the employer) are at fault. If they have regular visitors, however, or open their premises to customers, public liability insurance is a must.
