Insurance and Safety at Fulham House Clearance
At Fulham House Clearance we place safety and responsibility at the heart of every removal. As an insured rubbish company we combine thorough on-site practices with robust insurance cover so clients can rely on us for secure, compliant clearance work. Our approach is built around public liability insurance, trained teams and clear risk management. Whether you are arranging a single-item pickup or a full property clearance, our documentation and systems show we are a fully insured waste removal company that prioritises the safety of people, property and the environment.Public Liability Insurance and What It Means
Public liability cover is the cornerstone of our protection for both customers and the public. We maintain comprehensive public liability insurance that protects against injury or accidental damage caused by our work on site. As a recognised insured rubbish removal company, our policy limits are clearly recorded and available on request, and our insurance supports claims handling for third party property damage, medical costs and legal fees. This cover complements employers' liability and vehicle insurance to create a full safety net for every job.
Verification and Ongoing Compliance
We never treat insurance as a box-ticking exercise. Every contract includes verified insurance details, certificate references and renewal dates so customers can confirm we are an insured waste collection company on the day we arrive. Our compliance routine includes routine audits of documentation, checks for valid vehicle and driver insurance, and supplier vetting to ensure any subcontractors meet our same insured standards. This transparency is part of being a trusted, insured junk removal company working in both residential and commercial settings.Staff Training and Competency
Our crew training is rigorous and continuous. Staff undertake induction training, practical manual handling instruction and regular refreshers on safe lifting techniques and hazardous materials awareness. We are proud to operate as a highly trained, insured waste removal company whose workforce understands the legal and practical responsibilities of working with household and commercial waste. Training covers site hazard recognition, communication protocols, use of mechanical aids and the correct segregation of materials for recycling or disposal.
Training modules and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Manual handling: safe lifting, team lifts and use of trolleys and lifting aids.
- Hazard awareness: identification of sharps, asbestos risks and chemical hazards.
- PPE standards: high-visibility clothing, gloves, safety boots, eye protection and respirators where required.
- Vehicle and equipment operation: secure loading, tail-lift use and daily checks.
- First aid and emergency response: trained first-aiders and clear incident escalation procedures.
Risk Assessment and Method Statements
Before any clearance we carry out a written risk assessment and, where required, a method statement. This process identifies hazards, defines control measures and allocates responsibilities. Our assessments are proportionate and practical: they cover trip and fall risks, manual handling exposures, traffic management, environmental protection against spillages and safe disposal routes. For complex or high-risk clearances we prepare detailed risk reduction plans so our insured waste collection company can execute the job without undue risk to occupants, neighbouring properties or staff.Operational Safety Controls
On the day of work we deploy operational controls that follow the risk assessment. These include cordoning off hazardous zones, using suitable containment, clear signage, and authorised waste containers. Vehicle safety checks are performed prior to departure and on return. We maintain chain-of-custody documentation for controlled wastes and ensure all loads are transported to licensed facilities. As a responsible and insured junk removal company, we also prioritise recycling and diversion from landfill where possible to meet environmental obligations.
Incident Response and Claims Procedure
In the unlikely event of an incident, our teams follow an established incident response protocol. This includes immediate first aid, securing the scene, documenting the incident with photographs and witness statements, and notifying our insurance administrators when appropriate. We maintain an internal accident book and a claims liaison process so that any public liability or third-party claim can be processed quickly and transparently. Our objective is to limit harm and ensure that the position of everyone affected is managed professionally by this insured rubbish removal company.
