I am a Mechanical Engineer in the UK and I am currently undertaking Self-Employed part time work in the evenings (also have a separate day job).
Do I have to get insurance or liability insurance for the work I do?
My work is typically doing CAD manufacture drawings based upon rough sketches by 'client' and then completing the drawings based on my experience. My client does not give me Purchase Orders, but requests work by emails, and then I Invoice, typically 15-30days. When I email the drawings, I include in the body "see attached drawings for Checking" and I also attach a transmittal note saying 'for checking and approval'. By doing this, am I really putting the onus on the client to check all is correct? and thus ensuring I cannot be held responsible for costs of putting right any mistakes due to drawing errors (heaven forbid)
Experienced views would be appreciated. Many thanks
