Personal Accident Insurance

Accidents do unfortunately happen, so we've included protection for you.

We understand that you may not have already organised your own Personal Accident Insurance cover, so we have arranged a policy that is underwritten by AIG Europe Ltd for you.

This policy covers you for when you are carrying out your services on site and when you are travelling between sites during the working day.

It also covers you whilst you are travelling to and from your place of residence and your place of work.

In order to be covered under this policy, you need to be a current SHMS Contractor. Register with us by clicking the Join Us button above. 

Benefits include payment of £125,000 for death by an accident, permanent loss of limbs, sight, speech or hearing, and permanent partial or total disability. For temporary total disability, an amount of up to £300 per week is paid.
