Training Employees to Avoid Property Damage Liabilities

Now that states have begun to reopen fully in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, more and more businesses that offer in-home services for clients are returning to normal operating capacity. As a result, there will soon be a return of service providers to the average American home. a building with a store on the corner of a street

Electronics technicians might visit homes to repair internet outages, grocery store delivery services might bring orders directly to customers’ front doors. Still, every time a business’s employees set foot on other people’s property, then they have to be respectful of the space. Still, there is always a chance that something might go wrong, and a company representative might cause damage to someone’s property. 

What can you do to impress the importance of preventing property damage on your employees? How can you protect yourself if the worst ever does occur? 

Employee Training Can Prevent Property Damage 

When an employee visits customers’ properties, they should remember that respect and responsibility are the name of the game. A few ways to ensure that your employees remain cognizant of respecting customer property include: 

  • Only hire employees who meet qualifications and certifications for their field of expertise. 

  • Provide comprehensive training for all new workers. If employees require extra assistance, ensure they receive ongoing training and supervision as needed. 

  • Make employees understand they should treat clients and properties with friendliness and respect. 

  • Make sure employees use all equipment with care and discretion. 

  • Instruct employees on how to respond to cases of property damage to clients. Each company should institute a reporting process to document such incidents. 


Furthermore, make sure the client always knows how to contact the company. They should know whom to seek out if they have concerns about employee conduct. 

Insurance Coverage for Client Property Damage 

Though you must do all you can to prevent employees from causing third-party property damage, you can’t prevent every accident. Therefore, should a problem occur, you might have a responsibility to compensate the affected customer.  

However, if you have liability insurance as part of your commercial insurance portfolio, you will be able to compensate the customer for their losses. Suppose, for example, that one of your cable repairmen visits a home to repair someone’s line. However, while working, they mislay one of their devices, which causes an electrical spark and causes a fire in the customer’s living room. The damage will be covered by the property damage component of your liability insurance. 

By allowing your policy to compensate your clients, you won’t have to face significant financial losses by trying to do so on your own. Plus, your liability coverage will usually contain legal expenses coverage, which can over any costs related to a lawsuit levies by a disgruntled client. 

Don’t put off getting liability insurance for your business. If you can protect yourself, you can also protect employees and clients. This can help you better market to those who expect your company to do a reliable job.
