Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Plastics Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

Plastics consultancy insurance protects professionals who provide advisory services to plastic product manufacturers, processors, and other organisations working with plastic materials. This covers:

  • Conducting production audits and inspections to identify inefficiencies
  • Advising clients on optimising manufacturing processes and quality control
  • Guiding companies on plastic waste reduction and sustainability improvements
  • Providing training on health and safety procedures when working with plastics

However, plastics consultants face several risks, like giving inaccurate advice that leads to regulatory non-compliance, increased plastic waste, or products that pose safety hazards. This could negatively impact organisations and lead to issues like environmental pollution fines, recalls, or user injury claims.

Our plastics consultancy insurance can offer comprehensive protection if such claims are made against you.

Why Do Plastics Consultants Need Insurance?

As a plastics consultant, you enter industrial facilities to assess production processes and advise businesses on improvements. Accidents like slips, trips, and falls can easily occur onsite, potentially leading to injury claims if you are not properly insured.

Additionally, as your guidance informs manufacturers on legal obligations around sustainability and safety, any flawed advice could lead to regulatory action, product recalls, or litigation if serious issues are overlooked.

Our specialist public liability and professional indemnity insurance covers any injury, financial loss, or negligence claims, giving you complete peace of mind.

What Does Our Plastics Consultancy Insurance Cover?

Our policies can include the following protections:

Public Liability Insurance

This covers any injury or property damage occurring during site surveys and production audits. For example, accidentally knocking a machine out of alignment.

Professional Indemnity Insurance (optional)

Professional indemnity insurance covers claims for financial losses clients suffer from inaccurate advice or flawed reporting. For instance, guidance leading to products violating safety standards.

Legal Expenses Insurance

Legal expenses insurance provides legal advice and covers representation costs if you face civil claims or regulatory investigations related to consultancy work.

Equipment Insurance (optional)

This insurance covers the replacement or repair costs of items lost, stolen, or damaged during site work. For example, testing devices, measuring equipment, and cameras.

Cover for Temporary Staff

We can extend policies to protect any freelance contractors, self-employed consultants, or staff helping with production analyses, reporting, or training delivery. This provides coverage for personnel working under your consultancy brand.

FAQs

Plastics Consultancy Insurance FAQs

Plastics consultants are vulnerable to negligence and liability claims because manufacturers depend on their guidance to ensure legal and regulatory compliance and product safety.

Consultants’ advice also informs sustainability initiatives to tackle plastic waste. If issues are overlooked, they risk substantial pay-outs without insurance. Our policies cover legal costs and compensation claims arising from consultancy errors and oversights.

We cover loss scenarios like:

  • An audit failing to identify a production hazard leads to a batch of unsafe products and user injury claims. Our insurance would cover legal costs and compensation pay-outs.
  • Inaccurate recycling process advice results in increased plastic waste and environmental fines. Our professional indemnity cover would protect against the financial loss claim.
  • Disputes over guidance provided result in court action. Our legal expenses would cover lawyers’ costs to resolve this.

We cover liability risks from all core plastics consultancy work, including:

  • Production safety and compliance assessments
  • Plastic waste audits
  • Identifying sustainability, efficiency, and waste reduction opportunities
  • Advising clients on optimal solutions to improve processes
  • Producing reports to highlight issues
  • Training staff on plastics machinery operation, waste procedures, etc.

Essentially, most claims stemming from standard consultancy activities are covered.

Yes – our policies can extend to cover any temporary staff, self-employed contractors, or freelancers conducting work on your behalf. This ensures you and third parties working under your consultancy are shielded from potential injury, damage, and financial loss claims.
