Building Foreman Risk Areas

Site Supervision

Coordinating people, materials, access, sequencing and safety can create responsibility even where the foreman is not the main contractor.

Hands-On Work

Working foremen may still carry out building, repair, carpentry, demolition, making good or finishing tasks that affect the insurance rating.

Contract Evidence

Main contractors and clients may request specific liability limits, employers' liability certificates, RAMS and details of subcontractor controls.
