Business insurance

Insurance for Quarries

A quarry is a high-hazard worksite, and the cover reflects it. Operations need plant and machinery cover against damage and breakdown for the expensive crushing and earthmoving fleet, public and products liability, and environmental and pollution cover tied to extraction and blasting. Workers' compensation is critical given the safety risks on site, and many operators also weigh business interruption cover for the income lost if key plant or the site goes down. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your specialist cover before the new financial year — quarry risk needs proper underwriting, not a generic business policy.

Common questions

Quarries — insurance questions

Does a quarry need specialist insurance?

Yes. The combination of heavy plant, blasting, environmental exposure and high safety risk means standard business policies do not fit. A quarry needs specialist cover properly underwritten for the assets, hazards and obligations involved.

Should I insure against machinery breakdown?

It is worth strong consideration. Your crushing and earthmoving plant is your livelihood, and a major breakdown can halt production. Machinery breakdown cover helps with repair costs and, in some policies, the income lost while the plant is down.
