ELECTRICIANS INSURANCE
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH ELECTRICIANS
Atlantic have been looking after the Insurance needs of Electricians for over 25 years.
Electricians have unique insurance needs particularly in Queensland where Electricians require an endorsement on their Public Liability Cover for “Consumer Protection” to meet the requirements of the Electrical Safety Act. Without a compliant Insurance Policy, Electricians in Queensland will be unable to apply for or renew their Electricians Licence.
Atlantic appreciate that the activities of Electricians can vary greatly and will depend on both the types of site you are working on (Residential / Commercial / Industrial) and any specialist industries you focus on. (EG Air Conditioning). Likewise, the Insurance requirements of Electricians will be unique to your Business and consideration needs to be given to the covers and limits required.
Our experienced Client Managers will complete a detailed risk analysis to understand your Business before providing any recommendations for cover.

ELECTRICIANS RISK – OUR OBSERVATIONS
Whilst most Electricians understand the need for Public Liability Insurance what is often misunderstood is the exposure relating to Professional Indemnity claims. If your business provides design services or advice to your customers you may require a higher level of protection than a Public Liability Policy. Atlantic Insurance can assist you in obtaining options to cover your exposure where a claim may be bought against you for claims of negligent professional advice or service.
CURRENT CLAIMS LANDSCAPE
Whilst the risk of Damage to Property is significant whilst undertaking Electrician activities as work completed incorrectly has the potential to lead to Fires it is the risk of Personal Injury where a Public Liability claim may escalate very quickly. A Public Liability Policy is designed to cover Property Damage and Bodily Injury following negligence and should a Third Party be shocked or electrocuted following faulty work, Electricians have an obvious exposure. A good Public and Products Liability Policy can provide coverage for both damages awarded following a significant event as well the costs to defend yourself in Court.
It is not only Public Liability where we are seeing high frequency of claims, Electricians often carry a large amount of high valued, specialist tools and equipment which can be stolen whilst working away from your premises. Atlantic can discuss options to protect your Tools for loss or damage when you are on site.
