Why Paint Sprayers May Need Public Liability Cover

Spray painting can involve overspray, fumes, masking, solvents, ladders, compressors, spray equipment, customer property and controlled work areas. If a customer, visitor, contractor or member of the public is injured, or if property is damaged because of your work, a claim could be expensive.

Public liability insurance may help protect against third-party injury or property damage claims. This can be important whether you work in a workshop, spray booth, garage, customer premises, commercial unit or mobile setting.

Public Liability For Spraying Work

Public liability cover may respond if a third party claims they were injured or their property was damaged because of your business activities. Examples could include overspray damaging nearby property, a visitor tripping over equipment, or accidental damage during preparation or finishing work.

Insurers may ask whether you spray vehicles, furniture, kitchens, buildings, metalwork, machinery, boats or commercial fittings, and whether you work indoors, outdoors, in a booth or on customer sites.

Materials, Products And Completed Work

If you supply coatings, finishes, painted panels, refurbished items or completed sprayed products, product liability may need to be considered. This can be relevant where a supplied item or finish is alleged to have caused injury, damage or loss.

Paint sprayers should also discuss solvent use, flammable materials, ventilation, storage, waste disposal, spray booth arrangements and any work involving customer vehicles, machinery or high-value items.

Employers' Liability And Subcontractors

If you employ staff, apprentices, assistants or temporary workers, employers' liability may be required. Spray painting work can involve respiratory risks, manual handling, slips, trip hazards, chemicals and equipment-related injuries.

If you use subcontractors, insurers may ask whether they are labour-only or bona fide subcontractors, and whether they carry their own insurance. These arrangements should be explained clearly during the specialist broker referral.
