As a specialist insurance broker for the print industry, we understand the unique risks and challenges faced by print businesses. One such challenge is the height limit for manual workers, which can have a significant impact on the operations of sign erectors and other trades within the industry. That’s why we offer an increased height limit of 15m compared to the typical 10m limit offered by most insurers.
Having an increased height limit can make a big difference for sign erectors, who are often required to work at heights above the standard limit. This allows them to take on jobs and contracts that they would otherwise be unable to, and can help businesses to grow and expand their services.
However, it’s important to remember that working at height comes with its own unique set of risks and challenges. That’s why it’s crucial to have the right insurance cover in place to protect your business and your workers. Our dedicated print insurance policy includes cover for working at height and related risks as standard.
We know you have queries about working at height cover for print businesses, so we hope these FAQs provide the answers:
