General manufacturing
Plant, stock and the profit that depends on them carry most of the premium; products liability follows what is made and where it is sold.
Lines this class usually carries
10 linesA schedule in this class that does not show one of these raises the finding "usually held in general manufacturing, not on this schedule". Absence is a question, not a fault: the cover may sit inside another policy or have been declined on purpose.
- Property
Physical loss of or damage to your buildings, plant, stock and contents from fire, storm, water, impact, theft and the other insured perils, up to the sum insured. - Business interruption
The gross profit or revenue you lose, and the extra cost of keeping the business going, while property damage stops or slows you, for the indemnity period the policy states. - Public liability
Your legal liability to third parties for injury or property damage arising from your premises and operations, and in the AU and UK combined form for the products you sell. - Product liability
Your legal liability for injury or damage caused by a product you made, imported or sold, after it has left your hands. - Machinery breakdown
Sudden and unforeseen mechanical or electrical failure of plant and machinery, the repair or replacement cost, and where extended the profit lost while it is down. - Workers compensation (statutory)
Medical costs, weekly payments and lump sums for employees injured at work or made ill by it, under the scheme of the state or country where they are employed. - Commercial motor

Defence costs and damages for claims by employees and applicants: unfair or wrongful dismissal, discrimination, harassment, bullying, breach of employment contract.
Lines it often needs and often lacks
7 linesRaises the finding "often needed in general manufacturing and often lacking, not on this schedule". Worth a written answer either way, so a retained exposure is a recorded decision.
- Product recall
The cost of withdrawing a product from the market (notification, transport, destruction, replacement), the lost profit and rehabilitation costs after a contamination, defect or malicious tamper, and on some forms a customer's recall costs. - Cyber
Your own costs after a security incident (forensics, notification, restoration, business interruption from a network outage, extortion) and your liability to others for the data and systems you failed to protect. - Environmental and pollution liability
Clean-up costs, third-party injury and damage, and defence costs arising from pollution conditions at, from or caused by your sites and operations, including the gradual pollution most liability policies exclude. - Trade credit
Payment of the invoices a customer fails to pay because of insolvency or protracted default, on the debtor limits the insurer approves. - Contractors plant and equipment
Loss of or damage to owned and hired-in mobile plant (excavators, forklifts, cranes, generators) on site, in transit and in storage. - Statutory liability (fines and penalties)
Defence costs and, where the law allows them to be insured, fines and penalties for unintentional breaches of statute: workplace safety, environmental, consumer and corporations law. - Corporate travel
Medical expenses, evacuation, cancellation, lost baggage and personal accident for staff travelling on business, and often for accompanying family and leisure travel.
