FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is aluminium manufacturing insurance?
Aluminium manufacturing insurance is a specialist combined business policy designed to cover the unique risks associated
with aluminium extrusion, casting, rolling, machining and fabrication, including fire, explosion, machinery breakdown,
liability and business interruption.
+-
Is aluminium dust a major insurance concern?
Yes. Aluminium dust is highly combustible. Insurers will assess extraction systems, housekeeping standards,
ATEX compliance and ignition controls very closely when underwriting your policy.

Does this insurance cover product liability?
Yes. Product liability cover protects against claims arising from defective aluminium components, structural failures,
contractual penalties and recall costs, subject to policy terms.
+-
Do aluminium manufacturers need employers’ liability?
Yes. Employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement in the UK for aluminium manufacturers employing staff,
particularly given the high-risk factory and foundry environment.
