Engineering Insurance
Engineering Insurance is an insurance policy that covers a wide range of engineering related risks. It is a comprehensive insurance that provides complete protection against risks associated with erection, resting, and working of any machinery, plant, or equipment. In addition to this, under the Factories Acts businesses are required to have certification on specific items of plant such as lifting plant, pressure vessels and steam boilers. Suitably qualified engineers employed by an insurance company can inspect such items at the required intervals and provide the necessary certificates/documentation to meet your obligations.
Need for Engineering Insurance
Explosion risks
Engineering insurance is essential to provide full cover for explosion risks. The peril ‘explosion’ in material damage cover provides only limited cover and excludes damage caused by any steam-pressured vessel.
Electrical breakdown
Insurance cover for electrical breakdown is essential where computers are involved. The policy can cover sudden and unforeseen loss or damage to the computer installation, the increased cost of working arising from such damage and the reinstatement of any data lost because of the breakdown.
