Cannabis Laboratory Insurance
Any company that is primarily a testing facility for a new product is generally held to a higher standard, especially when it comes to errors and omissions. Because those employed are professionals in their field and have the knowledge and skills to perform the required testing, the general public, government, and laws expect that they know what they are doing and will not make the types of mistakes that can endanger lives. As a testing facility for cannabis products, your business will be held to an even more rigorous standard due to the nature of the products. Laws and regulations are ever-changing and will need to be updated to suit the needs of the industry, and testing facilities will certainly find themselves regulated more stringently. It is important, then, that your cannabis laboratory has the proper insurance just in case there is some type of problem or mistake made during the testing process that may lead to significant financial losses.The scientific measures designed to test and verify the levels of THC, CBD, and pollutants of cannabis are complicated, time-consuming, expensive, and difficult for most people to understand. That is why you and your team are specialists in the field, but it is also why the insurance is necessary. Errors, omissions, and possible injuries resulting from these tests can be costly for your business, so it is essential that you are covered. At OG Cannabis Insurance, we have a thorough Cannabis Laboratory and Testing Facility Insurance package that is easy to understand, thoroughly covers everything you need to successfully run your lab, and can be customized to fit your company’s needs.
Cannabis Laboratory and Testing Facility Insurance
As with any business, your cannabis laboratory and testing facility needs to be insured just in case something catastrophic occurs. Accidents happen and the unexpected could be waiting just around the corner, so it is essential that you have the proper insurance to feel prepared for these types of events. With our Cannabis Laboratory and Testing Facility Insurance package at OG Cannabis Insurance, you can rest assured and continue your important work knowing that you have the coverage you need.
Types of Cannabis Laboratory Insurance
When it comes to our Cannabis Laboratory and Testing Facility Insurance package, we include a variety of categories for coverage because we understand the complexities of your testing. OG Cannabis Insurance specializes in the cannabis industry, so we fully understand and are well-versed in the complications that may arise during the testing process (as well as all other stages of the cannabis grow, cultivation, and manufacture process). Our package includes four specific areas of coverage that will keep your laboratory and testing facility on the path to success no matter what happens.
The first category of insurance is Errors and Omission / Professional Liability. Because you specialize in testing the products for safety, you are held to a higher standard in the event that something goes wrong. If a mistake is made, you may be facing a professional liability claim, so it is integral that you are prepared for that possibility. This part of the insurance package includes:
- Claims made
- $1 million occurrence / $2 million aggregate limit
- Defense outside the policy limit
- Cost of defense
As professionals in the cannabis industry, you will be expected to produce high quality products and have tested them properly. Be prepared and covered if something were to happen during the testing with the Errors and Omission / Professional Liability insurance.
The next three sections are essential for almost every company in the cannabis industry: general liability, product liability, and property coverage. In the general liability section, OG Cannabis Insurance includes:
- Available $2 million occurrence / $2 million aggregate limit
- Damages to rented premises
- Medical limit
- Defense outside the policy limit
And we cover:
- Bodily injury/property damage
- Landlord additional insured endorsement
- Cost of defense
- Duty to defend
All of this is fairly standard for the general liability but certainly no less important. Next is the product liability coverage which is especially important when your company is actually handling the products and merchandise that can be sold to consumers. The product liability coverage from OG Cannabis Insurance includes:
- $1 million occurrence / $2 million aggregate limit
- Medical and recreational
- Retroactive date up to 5 years
- Product recall/product withdrawal
- Duty to defend
And the covered products include, but are not limited to:
- Scheduled cannabis, hemp, and CBD products
- Non-cannabis products, hemp, and CBD products
- Edibles
- Equipment manufacturers
If your company has any other type of product that needs to be covered, we can certainly customize your policy to include it.
Finally, the property coverage part of the policy is also an essential element since it covers pretty much everything that is not the product or employees of your company. The property coverage includes:
- Up to $10 million per location
- Theft with no sublimit
- Fire
- Multiple deductible choices
And we cover:
- Dispensary inventory – cannabis crop, edibles, CBD products, & non-cannabis products
- Business personal property
- Building
- Tenants betterments and improvements
- Money and securities
- Outdoor property (fencing, signs)
- Personal effects of others
- Employee dishonesty
These coverage lists may not be completely comprehensive, and our agents at OG Cannabis Insurance are happy to discuss any additions that you feel should be put into the policy. You should never feel like something in unsecured or unprotected when you have our Cannabis Laboratory and Testing Facility Insurance package.
