You know that you and your fellow tradies do a tough job in a safe manner; unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of us.

Why do bricklayers need insurance?

Essential insurance for bricklayers

Bricklayers face a wide range of risks. Unfortunately, not all of them are obvious.

If an employee’s health suffers, a client is injured, or their property is damaged, the tradesperson can be held financially liable. They can even wind up in court.

As a contractor or sole trader, it’s essential to have cover in case of accidental damage, injury, theft or negligence:

• Tools insurance: Replacement cover for tools and equipment you need to get the job done.

• Public liability insurance: Financial protection against negligence claims from a third party, including accidental damage and injury.

• Vehicle insurance: Cover for the car (or ute, truck or fleet) you use to get to and from work.

• Contract works insurance: Insurance for losses and claims arising after you finish the job and leave the site.

• Worker’s compensation insurance (WorkCover): Essential insurance for bricklayers’ employees.

Income protection insurance: Your safety net in case illness or injury prevent you from working.
