Scaffolding Insurance
Scaffolding carries two risks most policies handle badly: a collapse or falling material that injures someone below, and worker-to-worker claims between your crew, subbies and labour hire. We place cover with insurers who write these exposures properly and won't dispute them later.

What scaffolders insurance covers
Public & products liability
For third-party injury or damage from a collapse, a dropped board, or a structure someone else relies on. Placed at the $10m–$20m limits principals and builders require to let you on site.
Worker-to-worker & labour hire
Injuries between your workers, subcontractors and hired-in labour are a leading scaffolding claim and a common policy gap. We make sure your use of subbies and labour hire is disclosed so those claims respond.
Completed structures relied on
Your liability doesn't end when the scaffold is up — a structure that fails while another trade is on it is your exposure. We keep that on the policy rather than quietly excluded.
Cover, limits and examples shown are general in nature and subject to eligibility, underwriting and the terms of the issued policy.
