AFI ALL RISK DAMAGE WAIVER |
| |
Damage Waiver |
AFI All Risk |
| Why Take ? |
Parts are expensive e.g. split tyre £375, foam filling £250, steering
assembly damage £375 - £500. Most ‘Hired-in Plant’ insurance covers total
loss and not accidental damage. |
You’re expected to return hire equipment in the condition in which it was
received. AFI ALLRISK takes the worry out of using expensive equipment.
Replacing a stolen platform can cost you over one hundred times its weekly
hire rate. In the case of damage, replacement parts are often imported and
very costly. |
| What Does It Cover ? |
Accidental damage caused by your operatives during normal (or agreed) working hours each working day within the UK during the hire period: also AFI's loss of hire income during downtime (Subject to exclusions listed below). |
Damage Waiver plus Accidental Loss, Destruction or Damage, for 24 hours each day within the UK during the hire period; also AFI's loss of hire income during downtime (Subject to exclusions listed below). |
| Is There An Excess ? |
There is no excess in the case of repairable accidental damage. In the case of total loss, up to a maximum of 10% of the new replacement value of the equipment, as detailed in the Terms and Conditions of Hire. |
None in the case of repairable accidental damage. £1,000 in the case of total loss. |
| What Are The Exclusions ? |
Third party claims, paint spillage and over-spray, damage caused by nonobservance of daily maintenance ¹, inadequate security ², use by untrained operators ³, or any gross negligence4. |
Theft by hirer, third party claims, paint spillage and over-spray, damage caused by non-observance of daily maintenance¹, inadequate security ², use by untrained operators³, and any gross negligence4. |

We confirm that we have Insurance cover that protects us against loss or damage to the hired out plant and equipment. We will arrange for you to be given an interest in the relevant policy. Although you will not be a party to our Insurance policy and will not have any direct rights or action against our Insurer’s, our Insurer’s have nevertheless agreed with us that they will not exercise any subrogation rights that they may have against you to the extent that you have, as stipulated in the AFI ‘All Risks’ Plant Cover Plan, been given an interest in the policy by agreement with us. |
TRAINING - OPERATOR TRAINING & FAMILARISATION: YOUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS |
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that all operators using access equipment are adequately trained and familiarised to comply with current Health & Safety Legislation.
1. Training
Our IPAF and AFI Training courses include classroom theory, followed by a written test paper, together with practical sessions and assessment.
2. Familiarisation
Those who intend to use Mobile Elevating Working Platforms ("MEWP") with characteristics of weight, height, width, length or complexity which differ significantly to the training they have received should ensure that they receive a familiarisation to cover the differences. Machine specific familiarisation should follow on from basic training and cover: manufacturer's instructions and warnings, features of the specific model, control functions, safety devices and emergency lowering procedures. All of the above are to be found in the information supplied with the machine.
Familiarisation is available from AFI (subject to charge) or alternatively you may wish to consider having a qualified IPAF demonstrator(s) within your workforce to improve safety and ensure that operators are fully aware of different machine safety systems and emergency lowering procedures.
For further information Contact our Training division on 08707 871511 for details and costs

IPAF strongly recommends that a full body harness with adjustable lanyard (used to provide work restraint and adjusted to be as short as possible) is used when working from a Boom type MEWP. Contact our Training division on 08707 871511 for details and costs
