Public & Employers Liability Insurance

 

Offshore Liability Insurance

Nearly all offshore energy sector contractors will be required to hold Public and Employers Liability insurance as a stipulation of their contracts.

The offshore working environment is highly specialised and, consequentially, many insurers charge incredibly high premiums. Qdos have negotiated extremely competitive rates with insurers for energy sector contractors, as well as providing insurance to high risk areas such as rope access and rigging.

£5million Public Liability policies are offered as standard for those operating offshore in the energy sector, with the option to increase to £10million. Please refer to your contract and assess your risk before purchasing. Qdos energy sector liability policies also include liability assumed hold harmless agreements and will waive subrogation rights as standard. For full details please see Extension 7 ‘Oil/Gas Industry Contract Conditions’ within the policy wording.

We can cover​ a wide range of trades in the energy sector, whether you are working in oil and gas or renewables (subject to application). We have provided some examples of trades covered but these are not exclusive.
