Contracts & Risk Transfer
Read the agreement, required endorsements and actual policy together before committing to work.
5 topics
Mining Contract Insurance Requirements ↗
An insurance schedule should be read with the full agreement, including indemnity, scope and remedies. A list of limits alone does not reveal every obligation the contractor has accepted.
Additional Insured Requirements for Mining Contractors ↗
Additional insured protection depends on the policy endorsement and the circumstances of a claim. Naming a customer on a certificate does not by itself establish the scope of protection.
Certificates of Insurance for Mine-Site Access ↗
A certificate summarizes insurance information for a recipient. It should be supported by the actual policy and should not be treated as an amendment or guarantee that every contract requirement is satisfied.
Mining Contract Indemnity and Liability Allocation ↗
Indemnity provisions can allocate obligations beyond ordinary liability for a contractor’s own work. Review the language with qualified counsel and compare it with the insurance program before acceptance.
Waivers and Primary Insurance Requirements ↗
Waiver of subrogation and primary and noncontributory requirements address different aspects of an insurance relationship. They should be reviewed separately and supported by the applicable policy language.
