Pool contracting is a high-risk profession. From excavation and concrete pouring to plumbing and electrical work, your crew faces potential hazards daily. One slip, one misstep, and suddenly your business could be facing a costly lawsuit or medical claim.

That’s where Workers Compensation Insurance comes in. It’s not just a legal requirement in most states—it’s your safety net.

Common Risks Faced by Pool Contractors

Pool contractors often deal with:

Heavy machinery and tools: Excavators, concrete mixers, and power tools increase injury risk.
Slippery surfaces: Wet environments can lead to slips and falls.
Electrical hazards: Wiring pool lights and pumps poses electrocution risks.
Chemical exposure: Chlorine and other pool chemicals can cause burns or respiratory issues.

Without proper coverage, even a minor accident could result in major financial consequences.

What Does Workers Comp Cover?

A solid Work Comp Policy typically includes:

💼 Medical expenses for injured employees
💰 Lost wages during recovery
🛡️ Employer liability protection
