Employers' liability insurance
Many tradesmen are one man bands – and proud of it. But if anybody ever works for your business – and that includes full and part time staff, casual labour, contractors or volunteers – you need to have employers' liability insurance. It's required by law.
Accidents can happen. If someone you are directly responsible for is injured as a result of working for you, you need to be sure they are properly looked after – and ensure your business is not harmed too. Get protection and peace of mind with AXA employers' liability insurance.
