Construction is the UK’s third most dangerous industry, are you doing enough?

Health and safety failings in the construction and manufacturing industries result in damages worth over £1 billion a year. 

Now, faced with a situation unlike any other, experts are warning that these costs will only increase in the coming months. 

Many projects have slowed or been halted this year due to the pandemic, leading to many businesses taking shortcuts to speed up recovery post-lockdown.

This could mean we’ll see an increase in work-related injuries caused by distractions; all exacerbated by the fact we’re already seeing higher threats to cybersecurity, fluctuating employment levels and a shortage of skilled labourer’s and traditional training opportunities. 

At Neil Willies we can arrange a Tradesmen Combined Insurance policy for you, ensuring you are totally protected, whatever the nature of your trade. Our policy covers a variety of general contractors, from bricklayers to plasterers, and plumbers to shop fitters, ensuring you are adequately insured against all risks with one easy to arrange policy. We understand that the requirements of every tradesman are different, depending on the nature of the work or project undertaken. If our standard policy does not provide adequate protection for the risks you are facing, we can arrange insurance with a specialist provider, with enhanced wording if necessary, ensuring you are fully protected.
