You should consider if you wish to use the new terms immediately. Generally, the terms work to the benefit of the owner, so most owners will implement these. Your quotations and other documents should clearly show which conditions you are operating with – e.g. Subject to the Construction Plant Hire Conditions (October 2021).
There is no change in the requirement for insurance, but you should ensure that you have sufficient insurance in place for plant, employer’s liability, public liability and if appropriate motor insurance. Please contact us if you wish to discuss the covers required.
