Tradesman Saver’s Public Liability Cover For PAT testers
Our standard cover is:
- £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million or £5 million)
- £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
- Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)
There are many insurance options which would benefit your PAT testers business, and public liability is one of the most significant. This protects you if your work ends up damaging a client’s property or injuring a client or member of the public. For example, you may need to pay compensation if a client trips over your tools and is injured or you accidentally knock a customer’s laptop off the desk while you are testing it damaging the hard drive and cracking the screen.
Claims such as this can cost a small fortune but having public liability cover means you won’t be responsible for paying any of the resulting expenses. You can purchase this as part of our automatic package, which also covers you for financial loss, legal expenses, and more.
Other relevant insurance policies for a PAT testers business include employer’s liability, which is a legal requirement for anybody who employs staff, and professional indemnity insurance. Here at Tradesman Saver we have all the coverage you may need as a PAT tester and you can get your quote online in minutes.

Why PAT Testers Need Insurance!
As a careful, well trained PAT tester you won’t need insurance will you? Think again! Many customers think it won’t happen to them but when it does, they are grateful of expert protection to ensure their business is not affected. Take a look at the two examples below of where our PAT Testing insurance can save the day:
Shocking Public Injury!
You’re testing a plug for a computer in an office. You deem it is safe and give your seal of approval, but unfortunately when an office worker later goes to plug it in, they receive a nasty electric shock. They then file a compensation claim against you for their injury. This is why public liability insurance is so important – with it, your insurer will pay out the costs of the compensation for you, so you don’t end up having to pay it all from your own pocket.
Shocking Employee Injury!
One of your employees is fixing a light socket on a ladder you have provided for them to use. The ladder is old and unstable and the employee falls to the floor, breaking his arm and is now unable to work for 6 weeks. The employee claims compensation from you for negligence in failing to provide safe equipment to use. Your employer’s liability insurance will take care of this for you – it will cover the costs of the compensation claim, allowing your business to continue its activities unimpeded.
