Bricklayers Insurance Australia

 

Bricklayers insurance provides protection against claims associated with the risks specific to the bricklaying profession. Bricklayers are highly talented artisans whose systematic bricklaying process produces results that are elegant and stylish. If you own a bricklaying firm or operate as an individual, you may be contracted to construct a complete house using bricks or provide the roofing services. This involves risks that may result in claims that may leave you bankrupt.

 

Bricklayers’ business risks

 

As a bricklayer, you need to be aware of the inherent risks in your profession and get an insurance cover that adequately protects your trade:

 

  • Third-party injuries – The process of laying bricks involves the use of a wheelbarrow, bricks and other tools. As an example, a brick or tools can fall causing injuries to another person/s.
  • Destruction of property – No one is perfect including an expert bricklayer! A complete bricks-made wall may have unnoticed flaws that make it to collapse destroying properties around.
  • Injuries to employees – Your employees are exposed to a number of dangers while working with bricks on a construction site. Falling, being hit by loose bricks and injuries caused by tools may lead to serious bodily injuries and sometimes fatalities.
  • Theft – Tools and building materials worth huge amounts of money may be stolen on the site or when in transit.

Employers’ insurance liability

 

This policy is designed to cover compensation for claims associated with accidents on the site that leads to serious body injuries of the employees or death.
