"As you know working in the electrical industry can be a hazardous business and every day you may be carrying out potentially dangerous work on your customer’s property.
Regardless how qualified you are or how much experience you have working as an electrician you are always at risk of damaging property or fittings that could result in harm to your customers or colleagues. The costs of damage and possibly legal costs of defending a liability claim as such can be extremely high and has been seen to be the cause of the downfall of many businesses.
A recent survey featured in Electrical Times highlights worrying statistics that 27.5% of Tradesmen, including electricians are not insured. This figure is an increase of more than 2 fold on last year.
Insurance tailored for electricians will make sure that you are sufficiently covered, so that if the worst happens insurers can provide you with the necessary financial support.

If you do employ staff (which includes full and part time staff, contractors or volunteers) you must have employers' liability insurance as it is required by law.
