A recent increase in prosecutions by the Heath and Safety Executive has prompted many businesses to thoroughly asses their Employer's Liability and other insurance policies.
Two notable prosecutions this year are the Vradford takeaway owner fined for failing to insure against work related illness or injury, and a Walsall metal forming company where a young worker lost parts of two fingers om his first day on the job.
Many insurance companies offer packages combining several essential policies such as Employer's Liability, Retail insurance or office insurance, however the HSE is actively encouraging businesses to couble check all their policies in order to protect themselves against future prosecution
