Street Work - Public Liability Insurance
Just had one council insisting on £10,000,000.00 TEN MILLION PL insurance!!
Also spoke to local council about scaffold pavement licence, they are insisting that it is the scaffolding contractor only who makes the application?
Did point out to them, that while our insurance covered us for the erection & dismantle and for any defective works, It would not cover other contractors for their negligence working off our scaffold, and that is why we have always insisted on the principal contractor getting the licence. We then help the main contractor fill in the application.
Even doing a job direct for the house owner, we would still ask them to get the licence as they would then go and employ a roofing contractor etc, who would also need this insurance!
What do you guys do, and is there any insurance implications?
