What Is Warehouse Insurance?

Core Warehouse Insurance Cover
Buildings, Contents & Stock
Without your building, you wouldn't have a business. It is extremely important to insure your premises as it secures your contents and stock which is how you make your money. In the worst case scenario, would you be able to afford to pay the rebuild cost of your building if a fire tore through it? With buildings insurance, if the structure of your building is damaged, you will be covered for the cost to repair it. Similarly if you insure your contents and stock with the correct amounts, if they are damaged after a disaster or are stolen, you will be entitled to claim for replacements instead of it negatively impacting your business financially.
Public Liability Insurance
It's likely that you will have visitors to your warehouse from suppliers, clients and other members of the public. It's vital that you have public liability insurance cover in place to defend against third party claims. For example, an item on your racks could fall on a supplier, a client could slip on a wet surface or you could spill a drink on their laptop resulting in a claim for damages. It's simple for us to add public liability cover into your policy to protect your business against compensation claims.
"We have used Bricks & Motor for many years for our business and home insurance, they are always professional, helpful and great value for money. I would thoroughly recommend them. "
Employers Liability Insurance
Running a warehouse suggests that you probably employ members of staff for duties such as stacking shelves. If this is the case, it is a legal requirement to have employers liability insurance with a minimum cover of £10 million. This will shield your business from legal claims brought against you by your employees if they are injured or suffer illness in your warehouse. Claims from employees are common in a warehouse environment because they can fall over objects left on the floor, be hit by falling items stacked on shelves or have a collision involving a forklift truck. We can easily integrate this product into your policy to protect against such claims.
Product Liability Insurance
Supplying products from your warehouse to your customers inherently creates risk because the items can become faulty or defective. We would highly recommend taking out adequate levels of cover for product liability in case a client is injured or becomes ill after using a product that you have supplied. Claims arising from faulty products can not only be financially damaging to your business but can ruin your reputation.
Distribution of Goods
You may benefit from additional cover if you transport goods to and from your warehouse or hold stock at different locations. We can assist you with goods in transit cover and also protect your delivery vehicles against risks such as theft or criminal damage. Our policies are flexible and can incorporate cover for fleets including breakdown protection, European driving and courier services.
