Don't leave everything to chance; keep yourself protected with an insurance
Your potentially life-saving work as a fire protection contracting company is depended on by occupants of warehouses, manufacturing plants, office buildings, hospitals and residential homes and apartment buildings to name just a few. Even for fire protection contractors who works as consultants, there is simply too much at stake not to have protection of your own.
Fire protection contractor insurance is essentially a Commercial General Liability Insurance policy that’s tailored to cover your activities and protect you from the liability risks associated with the work you do. It can also include Failure to Perform or Efficacy coverage, coverage, unique to fire protection work, in case your products and/or units fail to deploy.
Fire protection contractor insurance can provide coverage for legal defence costs such as lawyer’s fees, settlements and awards for damages for claims alleging personal injury/bodily harm or property damage. Also included is coverage for claims of slip-and-fall injuries on your property, claims of libel or slander and lawsuits alleging false advertising, among other potential claims scenarios.

Considering the size of potential fire protection-based claims it is recommended to have Commercial Umbrella Liability Insurance which provides coverage for costs of a claim that exceed policy limits.
If your fire protection contracting company manufactures/fabricates fire suppression or detection products, you may also need to include Product Liability Insurance to protect you from claims related to your products.
Other Coverages for Fire Protection Contracting Companies
If you work within this industry, protecting yourself from the dangers of working with fire suppression is critical. While you might do your best to make sure all work is performed correctly, you can’t predict when accidents will occur or when someone might try to hold you financially responsible for something that was not your fault. This is why you must take extra care in not only your work, but in protecting yourself and making sure you have the right fire protection contractor insurance plan.
