What is chemical insurance?

Businesses that operate within the chemical industry are at risk on a daily basis. Health and safety, theft and even fire are all concerns that your business should be prepared to deal with. By having a chemical insurance policy in place, you can have the total peace of mind that your business is prepared for the unexpected. Chemical insurance will help to provide your business with the cover that it needs to be protected from claims if anything does go wrong.

Types of chemical insurance policies

Chemical insurance can include the following types of insurance policies:

Buildings cover: Provides cover for your business premises in the event of flooding, a fire or theft.
Employers’ liability: This is a legal requirement if you employ any member of

staff (including permanent, temporary, contractors or freelancers). The minimum level of protection is £5m, which will cover the cost of compensation claims if they get injured or ill at work.

Business interruption insurance: Provides cover for financial losses if your business can’t operate from its premises as normal as a result of a fire, major theft or a flood.

Business assets insurance: Provides cover for the things that your business needs to operate, such as computers, mechanical equipment, tools, machines and stock.
Goods in transit: This will provide cover if chemicals are damaged, lost or stolen while being delivered by your freight company.

Public liability insurance: Provides protection if your chemical business activities kill or injure a member of the public or damage their property.

Products liability insurance: Provides cover if an individual suffers damage or injury as a result of a product that you designed.

Credit insurance: Provides cover in the event that your clients don’t pay their invoices.

Business interruption and supply chain: Many companies operating within the chemical industry are part of a complex structure of supply networks. If there are any issues within this supply chain it can leave your business at risk. With business interruption and supply chain insurance, you can help manage risk from failure, fire, terrorism, product recall, and cyber attacks, all which can potentially cause issues to the operation of your business.
