The Significance of Your Tools
Your tools are critical in your daily work. They play a vital role in enabling tradies to complete jobs, on time and on budget.
Common Risks
The risk of physical loss, destruction or damage is constant for small trade businesses. Tools and equipment, even when locked in vehicles or on job sites are susceptible to theft, while unexpected events like fires and motor vehicle accidents can damage or destroy tools and equipment. These risks, if materialised could impact the ability for small trades businesses to complete jobs on time and on budget.
