Whether it’s your own or it’s hired, your scaffolding equipment can be covered with our contractors all risk insurance. We also offer tools and equipment cover. These are optional add-ons to your insurance policy.
Subcontractors working independently require their own insurance as they aren’t considered employees. If you set your own hours and work unsupervised with tools, you need your own scaffolder contractor insurance. However, if you’re a labour-only subcontractor working within a company using their tools, you may not. Be sure to check with the company you are working for to make sure you are covered under their policy and if not, you can purchase your own insurance.
