« on: November 29, 2012, 12:03:25 pm »
just wanted to know if any of you guys get a scratch wavier signed on works you do ?


The reason I ask is because I would be interested to find out more what your putting in yours.

I had to get one signed this morning at a job we are on today and there are scratches everywhere and i'm not carry the liability for it.

do you use one, have you ever thought about using one ?

cheers

I have sort of one but never have used it as I don't do builders cleans really anymore, but I would have my insurance companlook at it before I used to get there advice on the form it to make sure I'm covered 100 percent

I have one but also don't take on builders cleans so have not had reason to use it.

However, it is not just builders debris that can be a problem.

Google 'Fabrication debris' and see what you get. When tempered glass is made if it is poorly made you can get tiny particles on the glass. If you ever use a scraper to, for example, remove bird muck there is the possibility of dislodging the debris and 'scratching' the glass with the dislodged debris.

I know I did it to 4 panes of 6'x5' patio doors!!

Also check your public liability insurance because most have a clause which says you are not covered 'for the window/glass/property you are working on.

The reason for this is because of the possible vast expence that a large claim could incure.

Just to add to my point you may wish to look at these links.
I commented in an earlier incarnation and had a go at the insurance co. They are however a first class company.
