When buying liability insurance for your business it is all too easy to think that your moral and legal responsibility ends there. However, it is important that you work to reduce the risk of accidents occurring as a result of your business. Read our guide to find out how risk assessments and first aid training can help your business.
Our policy includes cover for a wide range of beauty therapy treatments, including facial and skin care, waxing, spray tanning, makeup application, manicure & pedicure (including gel acrylics), body massage, microdermabrasion and electrical treatments.
We are only able to provide cover for cosmetic treatments including tinting, dyeing and bleaching if a relevant skin test has been carried out beforehand. We are unable to cover treatments that include needles, lasers or any other high risk procedures. Talk to us about the full list of the treatments you provide, and we can advise you of any that we are not able to cover.
In order to be eligible to claim under our policy, you must be qualified to at least a NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in the treatments you are providing. In addition to this;
Our advice is always to take out the maximum level of cover you can reasonably afford. We provide a range of indemnity limits upon referral but £5 million in indemnity as standard.
There are three main parts to be aware of when buying beautician’s liability insurance; public liability, products liability and professional treatments cover. We’ll explain each of these in a little more detail below.
Public liability protects you from claims which arise through negligence on your part during the course of you work. For example, you may have left cables in a hazardous location where someone might trip, if a member of public injures themselves or has the property damaged because of this, they may try to claim damages from you. This insurance would cover you legal defense along with their compensation should they win the case.
Products liability cover will insure you in the event a product you use or sell to clients causes a member of the public to suffer an injury or have their property damage. In these instances they may try and claim compensation from you, even if the product is not made by you. It’s important to therefore cover yourself just in case. Again, product liability for beauticians covers your legal defenses and any damages you have to pay to the claimant if they win the case.
Professional treatment cover is a form of professional indemnity cover especially for beauty therapists. It ensures that if a client isn’t satisfied with advice you have given them regarding their treatments an takes you to court, your legal costs and awards claimed by the client if they win the case are covered up to £5 million. We do require you to carry out treatments as the manufacturer has advised for this aspect of the cover to be valid.
If you would prefer to spread the cost of your policy, you may have the option of setting up a direct debit to pay your premium in equal monthly instalments through our preferred provider, Premium Credit Limited (PCL). Please note that this is only available on our salon policies and not to individuals.
