Complete Jewelry Business Protection
Protecting Your Employees and Your Watchmaking Business
Watchmakers work with intricate tools, delicate movements, and high-value timepieces. Even with meticulous attention to detail, workplace accidents can happen. From repetitive motion injuries to burns from soldering or polishing, watchmakers face unique occupational hazards that can impact their health and productivity.
In California, all businesses with employees are legally required to carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance. For watchmaking businesses, this coverage ensures that your employees receive proper medical care and financial support if they are injured on the job, while also protecting your business from legal and financial exposure.
