As locksmiths work in public spaces or other peoples home by law they must be covered by a public liability insurance. This covers them in case of claim from a third party in the case of injury or lost. As locksmiths carry specialised tools and equipment it is advisable to stay well away from them whilst they are trying to perform their job safely. Sometimes our locksmiths have to stop what they are doing and keep inquisitiving customers from touching their tools and interfering with their job. This can be very dangerous as locksmiths wear protective gear like goggles, gloves, kneepads and dust mask. When drilling metal and wood chips often fly to the eyes. This is always a serious problem that always requires having a check up at the optometrist. Public liability insurance cover our locksmiths in cases of fire, damage to property, negligence.
