Insurance protection for the mining industry

The risks in the mining industry can be extreme and complex. MCIB understands the risks companies and individuals face, and appreciates the need for the sometimes onerous insurance and indemnity demands placed on contractors by the mine operators.

We will identify the risks and threats you face, assess your needs and, using our knowledge and experience, negotiate on your behalf for the best cover at the lowest possible premium. We will advise, guide and support you in dealings with the insurance company in the event of a claim.

Our insurance solutions may include but are not limited to the following:

Public and products liability

Professional indemnity

Income protection

Motor vehicle

Plant and equipment

Heavy motor

Tools of trade

Mine contractor insurance

MICB helps mining contractors to understand the terms and insurance requirements of their contract. We review the contract, make our recommendations and source the most suitable cover available on the most competitive terms.

Mine management insurance

MICB works with mine management to ensure all mining contractors have policies that meet contractual obligations. Our services will save time and deliver the result desired by all parties to ensure an early start on the job.

Mine insurance assessment plan

MCIB’s rigorous nine-point assessment plan gives our customers confidence when selecting us as their insurance broker. The plan includes the following:

Personal assessment - we spend time thoroughly assessing your business, current insurance cover and risks, in order to design an insurance package to suit your individual needs

Researching market brands - we investigate what the market offers you, so you end up with the best option and value

Analysing benefits - we determine a balance of policies to suit you, looking out for any “traps” (those fine-print exclusions and inclusions that could end up costing you your business, or all your assets)

Recommendations – we make recommendations about which options will suit you best, answer your questions and explain your insurance options to you in plain English, because we want you to make an informed decision on your insurance cover

Liaison and negotiation - based on your decision, we approach the insurance companies on your behalf, negotiate with them and make all your arrangements

Cutting through the paperwork - we organise the paperwork for you; you still need to fill out some forms, but we make sure it’s kept to a minimum

Prompt claims service, when you need it – our long experience means we’re able to cut through the red tape to make sure any claim you make receives prompt attention

Staff training - each member of our team attends regular seminars, conferences and briefings on all aspects of insurance, in order to provide you with up-to-date information so you can always make informed decisions

Continuing insurance service – even after the policy has been issued, we continue to help you when your requirements change, or when you need advice or help

Risk assessment insurance

Insurance is one thing, but managing your potential for risk is another matter. Whatever your work or activity, when you come to MCIB seeking cover, we need to take several steps to assess the risks involved. We look for hazards, decide who might be harmed and how, and evaluate the housekeeping and risk-management systems.
