Definition

Public Liability Insurance covers a vendor's legal liability for injury to third parties or damage to third-party property arising from their business activities. Most commercial property managers require minimum $20M cover from cleaning vendors.

Why it matters for procurement

If a cleaner leaves a wet floor and a tenant slips, the claim hits public liability first. Insufficient cover (or expired cover) leaves the property owner exposed to top-up litigation.

How White Gold Collective applies it

We carry $20M public liability cover with annual certificate of currency provided to every client. Higher cover available on request for SDA, healthcare and large commercial sites.
