Product safety is governed by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). A consumer can seek compensation from a manufacturer who has supplied a product with safety defects if that product has caused injury or death to an individual; or economic loss caused by damage to another good, land, building or fixture.
Statutory fines of up to $220K for individuals and $1.1M for a body corporate can be issued to manufacturers/suppliers who fail to comply with mandatory safety standards.
As a manufacturer you are potentially exposed to many financial and legal risks. Regardless of the types of products you manufacture, Public and Product Liability insurance is an important form of cover. It is designed to protect your business against claims relating to personal injury or property damage as a result of your business activities, whether it’s providing a faulty or dangerous product; bodily injury sustained to third parties at your place of business, such as slips and falls; or damage to their personal property.
Tip: if you export goods, check for any territorial limits in your policy for liability claims that arise from overseas markets.
