Guest SteveJohnston Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I would recommend any one taking there own DJ equipment into any building to run a soul night / nighter to take out PLI to cover any portable electrical gear belonging to them, IF & we all know about the IF and insurance scenario! if the building was to burn down due to a fault with any of your equipment or god forbid a punter or DJ was to receive an electric shock resulting in then never retuning to your or any other function!! PLI would be very a handy backup to have in place, Even if the venue has PLI in place there insurance company would come after the room hirer to recover there loss that's for sure.

Denbo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 does the venue you are hiring not already have this covered That's what I was thinking? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just a general comment to anyone who is unaware, but an individual using their own equipment at a venue should consider getting it PAT tested, even if new, if only to cover your own backside. I'm sure insurers will expect this anyway as part of the requirements of any policy to mitigate public liability, so if you haven't got the certification your insurer may not cover you in the event of a problem caused by your equipment. The owner of the equipment has obligations in law as the "duty holder" & there are big fines & possible imprisonment if prosecuted. I found this thread which although not a DJ the same points are valid - https://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/pat-testing/21224-do-i-need-pat-test.html Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Phil Armstrong Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 does the venue you are hiring not already have this covered Would have thought the venue would have this, the promoter requires this also Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Davekd Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think it is a requirement but only if you are providing the equipement i.e. if someone gets hurt in any way, it's down to you. I've got 10 million that cost 50quid a year. PM me and I'll dig out the details. BTW PAT testing if it's your kit is also a good idea if only to protect yourself.

Jnixon Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 https://www.hiscox.co...CFYXMtAod_CgA2g Try them mate, go on their events section & enqire.......They do our reenactment events PL insurance for our horses/ reenactment group. or enquire even Hiscox insure toff's art collections, antiques, wine etc so they'll also be a good starting point for the insurance of decent collections. They made a reasonable name for special personal risk items. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
