Business insurance

Insurance for Slashing Contractors

A slashing contractor carries real risk because flying debris and heavy machinery are part of the job. Public liability is core — a thrown rock through a window or car, damage to fences and infrastructure, or fire started by a strike on metal can all lead to a claim. You also want cover for your tractor, slasher and trailer, and, once you have operators on the books, workers' compensation. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year and the fire season.

Common questions

Slashing Contractors — insurance questions

Am I covered if a slasher throws a rock and causes damage?

Thrown debris damaging a vehicle, window or person is a real and common risk in slashing, and public liability is designed for third-party property damage and injury. Make sure your policy clearly reflects slashing and mulching work rather than general grounds maintenance.

Is my tractor and slasher covered off-road and on site?

Standard motor policies may not cover machinery operating in paddocks or being towed on a float, so confirm your plant and equipment cover suits how and where you work. Fire risk from blade strikes is another exposure worth checking your policy addresses.
