Working in the trades and construction industry means dealing with physical, fast-moving, and often unpredictable environments every day. Whether you’re a sole trader, subcontractor, independent tradie, or managing a larger construction company, the risks faced by trades businesses can quickly lead to major financial setbacks without the right protection in place.
Trades and construction businesses are commonly exposed to public liability claims, tool theft, damage to vehicles and equipment, contract works losses, property damage, employee-related risks, and business interruption following an insured event. For sole traders and self-employed contractors, personal accident and illness cover is also critical, as workers compensation often does not provide the same protection if you’re injured and unable to work.
