Types Of Insurance For Offshore Workers
WE SPECIALISE IN PROVIDING LIFE, CRITICAL ILLNESS AND INCOME PROTECTION INSURANCE FOR ANYONE WORKING IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
We understand that obtaining the cover you want can be difficult, as your job may be perceived by insurers as high-risk, which brings a whole load of barriers to obtaining life insurance, including: increasing the premiums to cover the risk factor that you bring, place exclusions to cover the risk, or decline your cover altogether. It can also be difficult understanding the different types of insurance available to you.
INSURANCE FOR OFFSHORE WORKERS
We understand that the work you do as an offshore worker is challenging and that on a day-to-day basis you are faced with potential risks. We also know that you have to make sacrifices for your job, whether that be personal or sacrifices for your family, which we understand can take its toll. Our approach is, why should you have to make sacrifices when it comes to obtaining life insurance that will cover you and your loved ones? Your job is hard enough as it is, being eligible for a life insurance policy shouldn’t be equally as difficult.

INSURANCE FOR OFFSHORE WORKERS – 99% OF COVER
As your job may be perceived as high risk by insurers, you can expect to see an increase in your premiums, exclusions to cover the risk or declined applications, but we believe that’s unfair. Here at C&D Specialist Insurance, we have a very different set of beliefs and we want to make things as easy as possible for you.
We take a fresh approach to insurance policies, and with our extensive industry knowledge, we are able to place 99% of life and critical illness cover for offshore workers, with no increased premiums. There are various different policies to consider; life insurance, critical illness and income protection, and we are here to help you decipher what is the best cover for you and your family.
TYPES OF INSURANCE FOR OFFSHORE WORKERS – LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance for offshore workers ensures that the most important people in your life are protected should the unfortunate happen to you. Cover can be personalised for your family, ensuring that they will be looked after when you are no longer around to care for them. Life insurance for offshore workers can leave a long-standing legacy for you, so you can rest easy knowing that your family will be taken care of because of your generosity.
Life cover pays out a cash sum or income if you die. Policies are designed to help families cope with the financial pressure of losing the household’s main earner and there are many different varieties of life cover, to suit an array of individual needs.
INSURANCE FOR OFFSHORE WORKERS – TERM ASSURANCE
We most often recommend Term Assurance which pays out on the death of the policyholder, for the period insured, which offers great value for money. You set the level of cover you need and for how long and if you die in that period, the policy will pay out. Many policies pay early if you find that you have under 12 months to live.
TYPES OF INSURANCE FOR OFFSHORE WORKERS – CRITICAL ILLNESS
Critical Illness Cover pays out a tax-free lump sum when you are diagnosed as being seriously ill, and it can protect you against a major health crisis. We can help you find a policy that provides you with the right cover for you, as not all critical illness policies for offshore workers are the same. Many people make the mistake of buying the cheapest cover to then find out that they can’t claim, but we will assist you in finding the cover that suits you and your needs best.
Critical Illness Cover for offshore workers pays out if you are diagnosed as having one of the illnesses specified in the policy. The cover can help with important things such as care costs, medical bills or even travelling abroad for treatment. It can also cover your financial commitments if you have a major crisis.
INCOME PROTECTION INSURANCE FOR OFFSHORE WORKERS
Income Protection insurance for offshore workers is the policy that every working person should consider. We class it as an essential cover you can buy, as it pays out if you fall sick, disabled or unemployed and there are short or long-term coverage options available.
Income Protection can cover up to 70% of your pre-tax pay if you are unable to work, making being unable to earn less of a worry when you know your wages are protected.
If your income is the one thing that pays for all your outgoings, Income Protection covers everything you pay for. The best policies provide a tax-free monthly amount until your retirement date.
