Unique Risks in Steel Supply & Yard Operations
Working with steel means working with weight, machinery, and coordination. Every day, your team handles cranes, forklifts, loaders, and cutting equipment — often in outdoor environments exposed to weather and logistical challenges. You might deliver steel beams to construction sites, store valuable inventory in open yards, or handle third-party property on-site. Each of these tasks presents exposures that general insurance simply doesn’t address properly.
Common risks include:
Employee injuries from handling or moving heavy steel materials.
Equipment breakdowns halting daily operations.
Fire or theft affecting stored inventory.
Property damage during loading or transportation.
Liability claims if delivered materials cause construction delays or accidents.
Environmental exposure from fuel or oil leaks in the yard.
With Metal Shop Insurance, your business gets protection that covers every point in your operation — from steel fabrication and processing to delivery and installation.
