Wideland’s Experience in Mining and Resources Insurance

Wideland Insurance Brokers has long-standing experience in arranging insurance for contractors, labour hire companies and service businesses operating in Queensland’s mining and resources sector. The Bowen Basin, Mount Isa, the Galilee Basin and North Queensland’s mineral processing operations all generate significant demand for contractor insurance that meets the specific requirements of resource company principal contractors and mine site operators.

Labour hire companies operating in the mining sector face specific challenges: the turnover of labour makes accurate payroll declarations complex; the liability exposure of workers in high-risk environments requires substantial limits; and the contractual insurance requirements of resource company principals are detailed and non-negotiable. Wideland helps labour hire operators understand and meet these requirements and arranges cover through the CBN and Steadfast panel that reflects the actual risk profile of mining sector labour hire.
