Insurance policies for companies in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector are designed to cover complex and highly regulated risks. These include: - Professional and product liability: covering claims for faults, adverse effects, or regulatory non-compliance. - Environmental insurance: covering spills, pollution, or poor management of hazardous waste. - Property damage and loss of profits: covering fires, explosions, or other incidents that disrupt production. - Clinical trials: coverage for potential adverse effects on participants in medical studies. - Cyber risks and data protection: defence against cyberattacks or breaches of sensitive data. - Transport and logistics: for products that require specific conditions or special regulations. Ambler tailors each policy to the specific needs of each company, ensuring operational security and regulatory compliance.
Companies in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors face high operational risks. The most common claims include: - Fires and explosions: due to the handling of flammable substances and complex industrial processes. - Spills and environmental contamination: with potential legal penalties and high decontamination costs. - Manufacturing errors and product failures: which can lead to product recalls and liability claims. - Workplace accidents: resulting from the use of machinery or exposure to hazardous substances. - Cyber risks: cyberattacks that compromise sensitive data related to research, patents, or clients. - Theft and vandalism: especially in pharmacies and laboratories with high-value products. - Supply chain disruptions: affecting the continuity of production and distribution. Having specific coverage for these risks is crucial to protect the business's operations and viability.
The handling of hazardous substances in laboratories, chemical factories, or pharmacies significantly increases the level of risk, which directly impacts the coverage and requirements of insurance policies: - Expanded liability coverage: specific coverage is required for third-party damages resulting from leaks, explosions, or exposure to toxins. - Environmental insurance: often mandatory to cover pollution and cleaning costs. - Property damage: policies must cover fires, chemical reactions, or corrosion of facilities. - Workplace accidents: enhanced protection is provided against intoxications, burns, and occupational diseases. - Business interruption: covers economic losses if operations are halted due to serious incidents.. - Additional requirements: insurers may require emergency plans, secure storage, and strict regulatory compliance. Proper handling of these substances and compliance with regulations allow access to broader coverage and better terms.
If your business operates in the pharmaceutical sector, you need specialised insurance to protect against technical, legal, and operational risks. The most relevant coverages are: - Professional and product liability: covering failures in medications, adverse effects, or formulation errors. - Environmental liability: covers damage caused by pollution during manufacturing or distribution. - Property damage and loss of profits: protects facilities, machinery, and stock against incidents that disrupt operations. - Transport and logistics: ensures products during distribution, including cold chain management. - Cyber risks: protecting against cyberattacks or breaches of confidential data. - Clinical trials: essential if you conduct trials with medications. Ambler tailors each policy according to the company profile and its level of exposure, ensuring full coverage and regulatory compliance.
In the chemical and pharmaceutical sector, having liability insurance is, in many cases, mandatory to comply with regulations and operate legally. Some specific examples include: - Pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors: must take out product liability insurance for potential damages caused by defective medications or products. - Laboratories and companies conducting clinical trials: coverage is required for potential harm to participants. - Companies with environmental impact: are required to take out environmental liability insurance due to the risk of pollution. - Pharmacies and healthcare centres: must have professional liability insurance for errors in the dispensing of medications. Even when it is not mandatory, this insurance is highly recommended to protect against third-party claims or operational failures.
To protect employees in environments with hazardous substances, it is crucial to combine specific insurance with preventive measures. The most relevant coverages are: - Workplace accident insurance: covers medical assistance, compensation for injuries or death. - Employer's liability insurance: protects against claims for occupational diseases or accidents resulting from exposure. - Group health insurance: provides specialised medical care for exposed workers. - Life insurance for employees: provides financial support to families in the event of death. - Environmental insurance: covers third-party damages due to accidental exposure to chemicals. In addition, it is essential to implement personal protective equipment (PPE), ongoing training, safety protocols, ventilation systems, and regular exposure controls. Prevention and proper insurance are the best defense.
