Business insurance
Insurance for General Engineering Specialists
A general engineering workshop carries real risk because you're running heavy machinery, hot work and lifting in a busy industrial space. Public and products liability sit at the centre, covering injury or damage from your premises and the parts you make, alongside property, plant and machinery cover for your expensive machines, and contents and stock cover. With machinists on the floor, workers' compensation is required.
Premiums vary with the size and risk of your operation, with smaller workshops sometimes around the ~$800 mark and larger ones higher. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your machinery values and cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
General Engineering Specialists — insurance questions
What insurance does a general engineering workshop need?
Public and products liability for injury or damage from your work and the parts you make, property and machinery cover for your plant, contents and stock cover, and workers' compensation for your machinists. A broker who knows industrial workshops can match cover to your machines and processes.
Should I insure my machines for their full value?
Yes. A CNC machine or lathe is a major asset, and under-insuring it means a fire, flood or breakdown could leave you unable to replace it and back to work. Keep your machinery values current so a claim reflects real replacement cost.
