What are the insurance requirements for subcontractors?

Insurance requirements for subcontractors can vary depending on the specific project and the primary contractor's policies. However, it is common for prime contractors, such as HSEContractors, to require subcontractors to carry certain types of insurance to protect against potential risks associated with construction work. Generally, subcontractors may be required to have general liability insurance, which provides coverage for bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury claims that may arise during the course of their work. Additionally, professional liability insurance might be necessary, especially for subcontractors offering specialized consulting or design services. Workers' compensation insurance is often mandated, ensuring that employees are covered in case of work-related injuries or illnesses. Some projects may also require commercial auto insurance if subcontractors use vehicles for work purposes. It is advisable for subcontractors to review the specific skills and services they provide, as well as any requirements outlined in their contracts.
