What is Insurance for Welders?
Welder insurance is a type of coverage that helps protect welders and their businesses from the risks that come with the job. This insurance can help cover the costs if something happens, whether it’s an accident on the job site, a lawsuit, or tools that go missing. It’s also something many clients or job sites require before you can start work.
