Machine Shop Insurance

We encourage all of our clients to do background checks on all employees. Unfortunately, employee dishonesty is your biggest concern here. Temptation to steal high-tech parts or exotic metals can be a concern. We encourage having different employees accept payments, disburse cash, and balance bank statements. Finally, we suggest monitored security systems and a video camera system.

This can be higher than usual if you have customers that need to be on-site for quality control purposes. Although they aren't your employees, they face the same on the job hazards your workers do. You also can be creating nuisance hazards for your neighbors with fumes, dust, and noise from your metal work.

Your office, production plant, and storage warehouse all face risks. Potential ignition sources include sparks from grinding or lathing, production machinery, and electrical panels. This is why it is imperative to practice good housekeeping routines. Think about all of the potential fire hazards, like the greasy and oily rags that your machinists use to clean the machinery.
