Insurance Requirements
For test and tag business owners and operators there are three main types of insurance which are most important. These are public liability, professional indemnity and income protection.
Public Liability
Public liability is designed to protect you and your business in the event that your actions result in property damage or personal injury to another person.
Generally for a public liability claim to be successful you will need to be shown to be liable for the incident and to have acted negligently.

Professional Indemnity
Another important form of cover, and some would argue the most important, is professional indemnity insurance.
Whilst public liability covers you for your physical work and actions, professional indemnity covers you for the advice that you give in relation to testing and tagging.
Income Protection
Both of the abovementioned covers are designed primarily to protect your customers and members of the public, but what about protecting yourself?
If you are ill or injured and are unable to work in test and tag for a period of time, income protection can replace a large percentage of your income until you are well enough to return.

Other
As with all business types, there are a number of other forms of cover which can help to protect a test and tag business, as well as their staff, management and owners.
Some of these covers include tools and equipment insurance, business interruption and business expense insurance.
For more information about these covers it is best to speak with a qualified insurance broker, such as those working with us here at Trade Risk.
Queensland Requirements
In Queensland there is an additional requirement for people operating a test and tag business.
In addition to the standard requirements, Queenslanders will also require an electrical contractors licence.
In order to obtain a Qld electrical contractors licence you will need to hold public liability insurance along with an endorsement for consumer protection insurance. You can find out more about this specific cover by following the link.
