What's Equipment All-Risk Insurance?
It is an insurance policy specially designed to protect all types of media equipment against accidental damage, fire, and loss of use.

Here are some of the main features:
-
Covers company-owned equipment
-
Option to include equipment owned by freelancers & rental houses while these equipment are being used on your project
-
Local, Asia or Worldwide coverage available
Please note that this policy can only be purchased by a registered company.​

Drones can be covered as part of your insurance package or as a standalone policy. Please see Drone Cover.
What's Personal Accident insurance?
Should your job require the handling of electrical equipment, you'll need Personal Accident insurance, which provides you with worldwide 24/7 protection.
The premium rates of Personal Accident plans are tiered according to the perceived risk exposure of various occupations. You'll be charged a higher premium if your job involves 'riskier' activities such as working from heights or the handling of electrical equipment.
