Tool insurance

[Pid]

Just read a email from work regarding our company van, and it states that personal tools are not covered on their insurance.

does anybody bother?

any recommendations if you do?

its not worth insuring them for what u have to pay and what u get paid if they have to fork out due to age and depreciation ask the firm if they will pay you out if they disapear

I did think that it's not like I'm carrying a lot.

Didn't know if I was missing something I should have.

Thanks though

Too right, I'm not risking my tools for them

Just makes life easier sometimes rather than walking round the machine on ballast or gunning off a load on nuts all for making life easier if they were stolen at work they would replace it was more thinking when I'm out and about in the van.

It was an unwritten agreement where I worked, owt over £50 the company covered, --- with a crime number. they said it was required by their insurance but had my doubts. Lot of lads had expensive stuff 3 way lasers etc, stuff is so small theses days it easily dissapeers, even on tea breaks plant had to be locked into a tool chest, no iffs, no butts. Otherwise their loss was covered out of your wages. When you recieved company plant and signed for it, the deatils were on the companies signed bit of paper and the same on your copy.
