Legionella Control Contractors Services
At Kingsbridge, we found that legionella control contractors and consultants were having difficulty obtaining appropriate insurance protection – and at the right price. This lack of affordability and availability resulted in many companies buying inappropriate cover, particularly for public liability insurance, where cover often excluded the main areas of risk and business activity.
A standard policy simply will not do – even if your insurer is aware of your business activities. This is why we have developed our own recommended policy cover, which includes:
- Your legal liability for claims arising out of legionella
- Professional indemnity in respect of risk assessments and associated training and advice
- Failure of your products to perform their intended function
We also maintain close links with all the appropriate trade associations involved in your industry – which helps us to keep up-to-date with the latest developments
Kingsbridge is well known in this sector for providing expert advice and competitive quotations. We can often provide you with wider cover and reduced insurance costs, and will be happy to offer you quotations and advice before your insurance is next due for renewal.
The Approved Code of Practice for the control of legionella bacteria in water systems, known as ACOP L8, requires that regular water system risk assessments and necessary remedial works are carried out.
If you provide ACOP L8 assessments for your clients, you have a duty of care arising from the advice you provide. Therefore, it may be advisable to buy professional indemnity insurance. Kingsbridge can help you decide whether this cover is necessary to protect your legal liability, and advise you on the most suitable options for water treatment consultants.
