Business insurance

Insurance for Asbestos Removal Specialists

Few trades carry the liability exposure that asbestos removal does. You need robust public liability given the serious health risks, professional cover for your work plans and clearances, plant and equipment cover for expensive units, and workers' compensation for crews handling hazardous material. Many removalists also need environmental or pollution liability tied to disposal.

With premiums often near $2,500 and renewals commonly falling around 30 June, this is not cover to leave to the last minute. Cockatoo helps you get organised ahead of renewal and matches you to a broker who genuinely understands licensed hazardous-material work, so your limits actually match the risk you carry on site.

Common questions

Asbestos Removal Specialists — insurance questions

What insurance does an asbestos removalist really need?

At minimum, high-limit public liability, professional indemnity for your clearances and work plans, plant cover for your equipment, and workers' compensation for staff. Pollution or environmental liability is often needed too given disposal risks. A specialist broker can tailor limits to your licence class.

When should I review my removal cover?

Review it before your renewal, which for many operators is around 30 June, and any time you change licence class, take on bigger contracts or add crew. Getting this right protects you when a claim could otherwise be catastrophic.
