Insure your working machine comprehensively
Use of machines in the woods, peat bogs and road maintenance is continuously increasing, with more and more accessories. We recommend that you insure working machines with a working machine insurance, with the coverage and deductibles chosen to suit your company. Working machine insurance takes into account your machine use and transportation needs. Accessories separate from working machines can be insured with a tailorable Working machine extra.
Ensure entrepreneur's and employees' working capacity
Slippery and wet terrain, difficult positions when doing maintenance, cold and changing weather can make machine contractors' life difficult. Working machine drivers have an above-average number of accidents, and a surprisingly high percentage affect the eyes. Accidents occur especially during repair and maintenance work. Being in a hurry is one of the biggest contributors to accidents. You can prevent occupational accidents with proper working methods, use of safety equipment, and by being careful.
If accidents occur, the statutory workers' compensation insurance provides security to your employees, and our quick treatment chain makes it easier to return back to normal. As an entrepreneur you are not covered by statutory insurance obligation, but we recommend that you cover yourself with accident insurance. You can take out a voluntary medical treatment expenses insurance policy, Health Insurance, alongside statutory accident insurance. In case of illness or accident, it is important to get treatment quickly, as it will speed up your recovery and benefit both you as an entrepreneur and your employees.
