Howden has created a liability insurance package that directly recognises United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accreditation that all members must hold in order to comply with ATaC membership requirements. LABsure provides protection for their key business critical risks including professional indemnity, employers’ liability, public and product liability, buildings and contents, and directors’ and officers’ liability.
Jamie Eaton, Business Development Manager at Howden explains: “The insurer, Hiscox, understands that through their UKAS accreditation ATaC members demonstrate a sound approach to managing their business and associated risks. As a result, we have been able to negotiate a suite of policies that meet the specific needs of the asbestos consultancy industry and at a rate that takes into account the standards that ATaC membership demands.”
Key features of LABsure include:
- Cover for bodily injury to the full policy limit
- Legal representation costs associated with HSE and other similar disciplinary hearings
- Non-adjustable premiums on employers’ liability and public and product liability
- Payment by interest free direct debit
- Free business HR service
Steve Sadley, Chief Executive of Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA), comments: “ATaC has been looking to appoint a recommended broker for some months now. As we researched the market, it became apparent that Howden was the obvious choice. Howden not only pioneered the introduction of insurance cover that directly recognised the benefits of UKAS accreditation – something that all ATaC members have to undertake – but also have extensive knowledge and experience of the asbestos testing and inspection industry. I am confident that ATaC members now have access to insurance cover that provides them with valuable protection and also the support of a broker that has been working with their industry for many years.” | |
