Painting Contractor’s face unique risks

As a painter the risks you face are unique to you and your insurance should reflect that. Painting Contractor’s Insurance will provide coverage for anything from falls and spills to broken or damaged property. We will consider flammable substances and fumes or vapours as well as potential falling objects.

Property Exposures:

• Any exterior painting could have an over spray exposure which may damage surrounding premises, vehicles, or structures. Any exterior spray painting or sandblasting operations expose you to several risks.

Inland Marine Exposures:

• These include equipment and the transport of paint. There may be rental, leasing or borrowing of equipment which requires coverage.
• The transport of barrels of paint presents unique risks.

Occupier’s Liability

• Any time interior work is done ventilation is a very high concern to clients, passers-by, and the contractor’s workers. Fumes can cause severe bodily injury.
• Environmental concerns are also very high from the disposal of waste paints, solvents, and chemicals.
• If there will be removal of old paint or coverings this may involve scraping, chemical applications, or sandblasting. All have potentially high premises damage exposures. Also, the paint to be removed may be lead based and require special procedures to clean up and dispose of chips and the solvents used to remove lead. Lead contamination has liability, environmental, and workers compensation related hazards that need review and evaluation.

Workplace Safety Exposure

• Workplace safety exposure can be high. There are exposures to fumes and to above ground work on ladders and scaffolds which can cause serious injuries.

Automobile Exposures

• Automobile exposures depend on the type and use of vehicles, and radius of operation. If your vehicle travels to job sites or carries supplies for your business you will require commercial coverage.
