Water Well Drilling Contractor’s face unique risks

As a well drilling contractor the risks you face are unique to you and your insurance should reflect that. Well Drilling Contractor’s Insurance will provide coverage for anything from property damage and injury to theft of tools or damaged product.

Property Exposures:

• Property exposures at the contractor’s own location usually consist of an office operation, material, equipment, and vehicle storage. Welding of equipment can present a heavy fire exposure and should be reviewed for proper controls and storage of oxygen tanks.

Inland Marine Exposures:

• Inland marine exposures come from the well driller’s equipment. The machinery and equipment can be large or specialized creating unique transport exposures.
• Further equipment exposures develop from the actual use of the equipment during excavation.
• Equipment may be subject to striking underground objects during excavation; striking utilities; falling into holes or pits; slipping or falling into mud, water, or sinkholes; rock, land or mud slides; and fire from overload.
• If equipment is left at job sites there is exposure to crime and vandalism.

Occupier’s Liability Exposure

• Occupier’s liability is another area of high concern. Control of the job site is important with respect to limiting access to visitors or vandalism or attractive nuisance.
• The potential to strike and disrupt utilities, and the resultant loss of utility or damage that may occur are key concerns.

Automobile Exposures

• Automobile exposures can be high, especially in the transport of materials, machinery, and equipment.

Workplace Safety Exposures

• Workplace safety exposures can have many high potential loss opportunities. From the clearing of the site, to the digging of the hole or pit, frequent and severe losses can occur from striking objects or utilities, collapse of retaining or holding walls, mudslides, landslides, underground water, and sinkholes.
• Any contact with utilities, specifically electrical cable or gas lines, can cause workers compensation injury, in addition to premises losses. Complications from the large, heavy machinery and their use, misuse, maintenance, and transport have unique workers compensation hazards that need review.
