Coverage needs for industrial buildings
Insurance policies for industrial buildings vary between providers and policyholders, however, we generally recommend that owners of industrial buildings purchase policies with the following coverages:
- Commercial general liability insurance: Commercial general liability insurance, sometimes referred to as “slip-and-fall insurance,” protects against the day-to-day risks that come with owning an industrial building. For example, if a client visits your building and slips and falls in it, they could sue you. With this type of coverage, you might be compensated in the event of a third party property damage or bodily injury claim. Specifically, your insurer may cover the cost of medical expenses, repair bills, legal fees, etc up to the policy limit.
- Commercial property insurance: Protect your physical building and any business-related contents against unforeseen circumstances like theft, vandalism, fire, water damage, etc with commercial property insurance. When you add commercial property coverage to your industrial building insurance policy, your insurance provider may pay for repairs or replacements in the event of loss or damage caused by an insured peril.
- Cyber liability insurance: Cyber insurance might not be top of mind for industrial building owners, but as critical systems are increasingly digitally controlled significant damage and potential harm to others could occur if a hacker breaches your system. Your insurance provider may help cover the associated costs, which could include paying ransoms, liability from bodily injury or physical damage, legal fees, crisis control, patient notification, and more.
- Business interruption insurance: Business interruption insurance can protect your industrial building from lost income if it is forced to close due to an insured peril. Insured perils covered by business interruption insurance vary but can include theft, fire, vandalism, windstorms, water damage, and more.
- Equipment breakdown insurance: If a piece of equipment in your industrial building suffers an internal failure, such as a mechanical or electrical breakdown, equipment breakdown insurance could help cover the cost of repairing or replacing it. Even better, business income lost as a result of the equipment breakdown may also be covered by the insurance company.
- Commercial auto insurance: If your industrial building uses vehicles for business purposes, such as to transport materials, equipment, or products, you may benefit from commercial auto insurance coverage. Policies vary but may include third party liability coverage, uninsured automobile coverage, accident benefits coverage, etc.
- Commercial drone insurance: If your industrial building uses drones for business purposes, such as for inspection, aerial photography, or surveyance, commercial drone insurance might be important. This coverage may protect against damage to and loss of the drone, as well as ground station equipment and drone-mounted devices such as cameras.
- Crime insurance: Crime insurance can help mitigate the financial losses of employees or crimes related to your industrial building, such as employee dishonesty, fraud, burglary, robbery, theft, etc.
Do industrial buildings need commercial insurance?
Yes, industrial buildings need commercial insurance if they want to be protected from the financial consequences of an unforeseen event, like a fire, third party injury claim, and more. Without commercial insurance, the owner of an industrial building would be left to pay for the cost of damages or losses entirely out of pocket, which could have a serious, long-term impact on the financial health of your business.
