Scaffolding Companies Insurance

Scaffolding contractors operate in one of the highest risk areas within the construction sector. The nature of working at height and providing access structures for other trades creates significant exposure.

At Dooley Insurance Group, we arrange insurance for scaffolding companies across Ireland, ensuring that policies are structured to reflect these elevated risks.

One of the key exposures is liability arising from the erection and dismantling of scaffolding structures. Any failure or issue can result in serious injury or property damage. Public liability insurance is critical in providing protection against such claims.

Employers liability insurance is essential for scaffolding companies due to the physical and high risk nature of the work.

Insurers often apply strict underwriting criteria to scaffolding risks. It is important that all aspects of the business are clearly disclosed to ensure that cover is valid and effective.

We work with scaffolding contractors nationwide, providing access to appropriate insurers and offering guidance on both risk management and insurance requirements.
