Cleaning and Maintenance Services: On-Site Risk Management

Cleaning companies and maintenance firms are “nomadic” businesses. Your team is always working at someone else’s property—a client’s villa, an office building, or a warehouse. This creates a unique risk: “Third-Party Property Damage.”

The “Oops” Factor

What happens if one of your cleaners accidentally knocks over an expensive vase in a Dubai Marina penthouse? Or what if a maintenance worker accidentally causes a flood while fixing a pipe?

A standard sme package insurance policy for maintenance firms includes “Damage to Property Under Care/Control.” This is vital. It pays to fix the damage your team accidentally causes at a client’s site. Without this, one mistake could wipe out your entire month’s profit.
