Contractors insurance responsibilities Every contractor, event business, event service or entertainer who has
provided equipment or who is providing services is required to provide public
liability insurance and if that contractor employs staff to run or erect any
equipment must also provide by law employers liability insurance cover. You are
quite within your rights to request that event businesses provide you with proof
of adequate insurance cover and many event organisers do this as standard
practice.
What to look and ask for
Businesses providing catering services should be able to provide you with public
and employers liability cover certificates along with proof of council
registration and hygiene certificates. Amusement ride operators should be able
to provide you with public and employers liability cover certificates along with
a current safety certificate for each ride or amusement. Event hire businesses
should also be able to provide you with liability cover details, safety
certificates or service history documents in connection with any equipment you
may be hiring or having erected.
