Health & Safety Consultant Professional Insurance – the benefits

December 23, 2008 · Filed Under Health & safety consultant professional insurance 

As a profession which is often associated with paperwork and complicated rules, the health and safety sector now includes a number of professionals who specialise in advising firms on the right procedures to make sure they abide by the law. This type of advice can be crucial to a firm if it is to operate safely and legally. Health & safety consultant professional insurance is used by people operating in the business and to provide an extra level of protection should they make an unlikely but potentially damaging mistake during the normal conduct of their business.
A construction company might take on a particularly complicated job which involves a number of safety hazards. To make sure they are operating in the right manner they might hire a health and safety consultant to advise on what safeguards should be put in place during the completion of the work. However, should a consultant miss something in their assessment which then leads to an accident or injury, the company might be minded to seek compensation.
Health & safety consultant professional insurance can help take the pressure off in such situations by paying the legal costs of defending the case. The usual wording means to be covered a mistake must be made in the usual conduct of the business and must be unintentional.
Of course, any compensation award could also be expensive and this type of policy will also pay these damages, up to certain agreed limits. Most types of insurance in this sector will also go beyond mere mistakes. It will also guard against one or two more unpredictable legal issues such as an accusation of defamation, or an allegation of breach of confidence or copyright. Public liability insurance will also be included in the package in some cases.
In exchange a company must decide what level of cover is right for them and agree a regular premium. It is important to assess what cover limits are appropriate to the size of the business concerned, and what excesses a potential policyholder will be prepared to pay. Both of these factors can affect the cost of a policy.
When setting up cover the applicant will normally be asked a number of straightforward questions about their business. These will normally cover things like revenue, exact types of consultancy work normally carried out, and what legal safeguards, if any, someone already has in place.
Some optional extras include retroactive cover, useful for any claim which relates to a past event which took to place before the policy was set up. Overrun or ‘run off’ cover can also be arranged for anyone who is retiring, winding down the business or transferring to a new insurer. This means a typical health & safety consultant professional insurance could help protect an individual or business against almost any legal pitfalls which may arise because of normal day to day practices.
