Your industrial operations insurance policy

Make a smart business move – insure your production!

Industrial operations insurance is a comprehensive protection package for businesses involved in manufacturing. This policy protects your property, employees, production process, and your third-party liability, by offering security in consideration for minimal investments.

Why should you insure your production?

Production comes with numerous risks – from fires and breakdowns to liability for third-party damage. Unexpected events can jeopardize not only your property, but also the continuity of your business. By insuring your production, you minimize financial losses and ensure the stability of your business even in unforeseen situations. 

Your production deserves security – and we’re here to make sure you get it.

What are the benefits of industrial operations insurance?

  • Comprehensive protection – it covers property, production processes, third-party liability and employees.
  • Financial security – it protects you against significant financial losses caused by breakdowns, theft or business interruption.
  • Customized solutions – the policy is tailored to the specific needs of your business.
  • Trust of your clients and partners – it shows that you conduct your business professionally and responsibly.
  • Additional discounts – depending on the cover, contract term and number of insured locations.

With this insurance, you not only protect your property and your business, but also show that you are professional and socially responsible. If your company operates in the manufacturing industry, has property worth up to 1.5 million euros and employs up to 25 people, this product is the right choice for you!

With our specially designed riders, you can protect not only your property and employees, but also the entire production process.

How can this policy protect you from unforeseen situations?

Unexpected circumstances can seriously threaten your business, be it a fire, machinery breakdown or third-party liability. This insurance offers comprehensive protection against the most common risks in production, so that you can continue your operations without financial losses. 

Fire and other material damage (basic cover)

It includes protection against fire risks (fire, thunderbolt, windstorm, hail, explosion, impact of own motor vehicle or mobile work machine into an insured building, fall of an aircraft, impact of  an unknown vehicle into an insured building), glass breakage and supplementary risks (outflow of water from installations, flood, torrents and high water, earthquake).

Machinery breakdown

The subject of insurance against breakdown risks includes machinery, mechanical equipment, computers, electrical equipment and installations, as well as their mountings, bearings and foundations.

Burglary theft and robbery

This insurance covers the risk of attempted or perpetrated burglary theft or robbery, as well as vandalism during burglary theft. 

General liability and product liability 

This insurance covers the liability of the business owner (user or lessee of business premises) for damage that may be caused to third parties and employees during the production process (or by the insured’s activity or possession of property), as well as liability towards third parties that may be caused by a product manufactured by the company. This risk can be stipulated if the risks listed in item I are insured. 

Employee accident insurance 

Employees are insured against the risk of accident due to unforeseen and sudden events that can occur both during and outside of regular work duties and can lead to dismemberment. Cover includes treatment costs, occupational diseases or death due to accident.

Full safety with DDOR riders

In addition to standard risks, DDOR also offers riders to protect your business from financial losses caused by business interruption, damage to stocks or product liability. These riders allow you to concentrate fully on growing and developing your company without having to worry about unforeseen situations.

Insurance of business interruption due to fire and allied perils

This insurance provides indemnity in the event of business interruption or reduction of business activities (partial interruption) due to damage to, destruction or loss of insured property as a result of fire risks (it can only be stipulated if risks listed in item I are insured). 

Insurance of stocks in the production process against machinery breakdown and allied perils 

This cover protects your business against mechanical, biological, chemical and similar damage to stocks in the production process, caused by damage to or destruction of production facilities due to an accident in the plant (it can only be stipulated if risks listed in item II are insured).

Product liability insurance

This insurance covers the insured’s liability for damage caused to third parties through the use of a product that the insured has placed on the market, which, due to a defect, results in third-party bodily injury, illness or death, damage to or destruction of third-party property (it can only be stipulated if general liability insurance has been stipulated). Product defects can include manufacturing defects, faulty design, inadequate instructions for use, etc.

What should you do in the event of damage in the production process?

When an insured event occurs, a quick response is critical to ensure timely payment of indemnity and minimize business disruption. 

  • Report the claim immediately – contact DDOR as soon as possible to report the incident.
  • Provide evidence – photos, employee reports and other relevant information, including medical records in the case of injuries, can help in assessing the claim.
  • Do not make repairs without prior authorization – wait for the insurer’s assessment before you start any repairs.
  • Work together with DDOR – our experts will assess the damage and determine indemnity in accordance with your policy.
  • Payment of indemnity – once the assessment is completed and approval obtained, indemnity will be paid in accordance with insurance terms and conditions.
  • If an insured event occurs, the indemnity amount is based on the value of the insured property at the time of the incident. In the event of damage, it is based on the repair costs, while it depends on the stipulated sums insured in the event of injury.

Most commonly selected combination

Many manufacturing companies opt for a combination of basic property insurance and product liability insurance. 

Why is this combination a popular choice?

Basic property insurance protects your property against risks such as fire, thunderbolt, explosion, windstorm, hail and other perils, but does not cover damage caused by the use of your products. If your product causes material damage or injury to a third party, product liability insurance covers high costs of court proceedings and compensation claims. 

This combination protects both your property and your reputation in the marketplace.
