Any cabinet maker who works as a subcontractor or who operates their own business needs to consider Tradies Insurance cover. Tradies Insurance (what we also like to call Trades Pack Insurance) provides protection against financial loss should a cabinet maker be found liable for damaging property or causing injury to someone while they’re carrying out their work. Plus, it covers them for legal liabilities associated with work they have already completed.
Like other trades professionals, cabinet makers work in an environment that can be inherently dangerous to them and others. Cabinet makers work closely with their tools and these can cause serious injury if misused. Poorly secured cabinets can also fall and cause damage to benchtops and other kitchen fittings and furniture.
If a cabinet maker hasn’t taken out insurance and is found liable for causing injury or property damage, the costs could lead to significant financial implications. It’s why Tradies Insurance is one of the most important insurance covers a cabinet maker can get.
HIA Insurance Services understands the risks that cabinet makers face while they’re at work and has formulated a policy to meet their specific needs.
Trades Pack Insurance for cabinet makers can provide protection against financial loss should they be found legally responsible for causing personal injury to a third party of damaging someone’s property in the course of their business.
Cabinet makers need to ensure they’re covered for injury caused to someone as a result of a fall, misuse of a tool or even accidental use of hazardous chemicals or volatile materials such as sawdust, solvents or adhesives.
Note that Trades Pack Insurance doesn’t include the cost of rectifying faulty work itself, but it does help provide cover for the cost of the resulting damage.
