Public sector
Councils and agencies hold public assets and public data and act under statute; many self-insure or pool, so the schedule may list a fund rather than an insurer.
Lines this class usually carries
7 linesA schedule in this class that does not show one of these raises the finding "usually held in public sector, 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. - 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. - Professional indemnity
Your legal liability for financial loss suffered by a client because of an error, omission or negligent act in the professional service or advice you provided. - 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. - Directors and officers
Defence costs and damages when directors, officers and (under management liability) the company itself are pursued for a wrongful act in managing the business: regulators, shareholders, creditors, employees. - 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. - Commercial motor
Damage to the vehicles you own and operate, and your liability for damage to other people's property caused by them; bodily injury sits under the compulsory third party scheme in AU and under the motor policy in the UK and US.
Lines it often needs and often lacks
6 linesRaises the finding "often needed in public sector and often lacking, not on this schedule". Worth a written answer either way, so a retained exposure is a recorded decision.
- Employment practices liability
Defence costs and damages for claims by employees and applicants: unfair or wrongful dismissal, discrimination, harassment, bullying, breach of employment contract. - Crime and fidelity
Direct financial loss from dishonesty by employees, and on the wider forms from third-party fraud: forged cheques, funds transfer fraud, computer fraud and social engineering. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Personal accident
Lump sums and weekly benefits for staff, directors, volunteers or contractors injured or ill, where workers compensation does not respond (outside work hours, on the journey, volunteers).
