Insurance and Safety — Havering House Clearance

Havering House Clearance is committed to delivering secure, professional and fully insured waste removal services. As an insured rubbish company, we prioritise protection for our clients, our team and the public. This page explains our approach to public liability insurance, staff training, personal protective equipment and the risk assessment process that underpins every job.

We operate as a trusted insured rubbish removal company, carrying comprehensive insurance policies designed to cover property damage, third-party injury and other unforeseen incidents. Our insurance credentials are a core part of our service promise: they ensure you can choose our insured waste removal company with confidence, knowing the work is backed by robust financial protection and professional indemnity where applicable.

Public Liability Insurance: what we cover

Our public liability insurance covers incidents arising from our operations on site. As a professional insured rubbish clearance company, we maintain up-to-date policies that cover:

• Third-party injury caused during clearance activities
• Damage to property while removing, transporting or disposing of waste
• Legal defence costs arising from insured claims

We keep clear records of insurance documents and policy limits and review our cover regularly to match the scale and nature of our work. While we do not publish policy documents here, our role as an insured rubbish service provider means we can verify coverage on request during the booking or site survey stage.

Robust staff training and competence

Our workforce is trained to high standards so that clearances are completed safely and efficiently. Training is continuous and covers both initial induction and refreshed modules tailored to the risks we encounter. As an insured waste removal company, we ensure every team member demonstrates competence before working unsupervised.

Training topics include manual handling, correct lifting techniques, use of mechanical aids, hazardous materials awareness, safe vehicle loading and traffic management. We also deliver certified courses on first aid and fire safety where appropriate. Competence and training records are maintained centrally to support compliance and audit requirements.

Our staff training is complemented by regular toolbox talks and site-specific briefings to address dynamic hazards. We expect every operative to recognise when a job requires specialist input (for example, asbestos, contaminated soil or sharps) and to escalate accordingly. This layered approach ensures our insured rubbish company model remains resilient even on complex clearances.

PPE: personal protective equipment for every job

Safety gear is non-negotiable. Our teams are issued with PPE appropriate to the task, including but not limited to:

• Hard hats and hi-vis clothing
• Safety gloves (cut-resistant and chemical-resistant as required)
• Steel-toe boots and protective trousers
• Eye and face protection
• Respiratory protection when dust or fumes are present

We follow the hierarchy of controls: where elimination or substitution isn’t possible, we use engineering controls and administrative measures together with PPE to reduce exposure. Our status as an insured rubbish removal contractor requires that PPE usage is recorded and enforced on site.

All PPE items are inspected before use and replaced according to manufacturer guidance or when damaged. Supervisors conduct spot checks to ensure compliance and we include PPE checks in our routine safety audits.

Risk assessment process — systematic and thorough

Every job begins with a risk assessment to identify hazards, evaluate risks and define control measures. Our process is consistent across domestic and commercial clearances and reflects our identity as an insured rubbish clearance company committed to due diligence.

The risk assessment process follows clear steps: initial site survey, hazard identification, risk evaluation, control implementation and documentation. Where hazards are significant, we produce a written Method Statement and share it with the client and the team. We document all findings and keep records for health and safety audits and insurance purposes.

Dynamic and site-specific measures are a key part of our process. We perform a dynamic risk assessment on arrival to capture any changes since the initial survey — such as nearby roadworks, weather impacts, or newly discovered hazards — and adjust controls accordingly.

We also manage waste segregation and secure storage on site to ensure hazardous items are isolated, labelled and disposed of through compliant channels. This reduces both environmental risk and the likelihood of claims against our public liability policy.

In summary, Havering House Clearance combines comprehensive public liability insurance, continual staff training, strict PPE protocols and a rigorous risk assessment process to provide safe, reliable clearance services. Choosing an insured rubbish company like ours means choosing peace of mind: trained teams, documented controls and insurance cover that protects you and our workforce throughout every stage of the job.
