Why do I need stonemason insurance?
Stonemasonry involves heavy materials, power tools, and hazardous dust, making it a high-risk trade. A single accident, injury, or property damage claim can lead to significant financial losses that jeopardise the livelihood of your business. Stonemason insurance covers unexpected costs, giving you the confidence to keep working, knowing you are protected from every angle.
Key risks stonemason contractors and businesses face
Stonemasons face demanding conditions, from lifting heavy slabs to working with sharp tools and machinery. Without the right protection, accidents and liability claims can have a serious financial impact.
- Workplace injuries: Heavy lifting, using power tools, and working in high-risk job sites increase the likelihood of muscle strain, fractures, and serious cuts.
- Property damage: Handling large stone slabs and using heavy machinery can lead to accidental damage to floors, walls, and surrounding structures.
- Theft, loss & damage: Expensive tools, equipment, and materials are often targeted for theft, especially from worksites and vehicles. Accidental damage or loss during transport can also lead to delays and extra costs.
- Health risks: Exposure to silica dust increases the risk of lung diseases like silicosis, while loud machinery can cause long-term hearing damage. Repetitive tasks and heavy lifting contribute to chronic pain and fatigue.
