Specialist protection for the security industry
Your customers are placing the security of their property and in many cases, their own safety, in your hands and should something go wrong due to your error, you could be held accountable. If you fit faulty CCTV which doesn’t record a break-in or install a fire alarm which fails to activate during a fire, these could have significant consequences. This is why you need sufficient insurance in place to cover yourself and your business.
Additionally, personal accident cover can protect you should you injure yourself and are temporarily unable to work and you can protect your tools and equipment against the risk of loss, theft or damage.
