Why Your Cannabis Industry Clients Need Workers’ Compensation Coverage
Do you have clients in the cannabis industry? Cannabis is a unique and ever-growing industry, and the industry employs thousands of people, from growers and extractors to those who package, transport, and sell medical and recreational cannabis products.
If your clients work in any stage of the cannabis process, it’s important for them to have strong Workers’ Compensation coverage. This is because the unique cannabis industry brings many unique injury and accidents risks, including:
- Exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals
- Exposure to other harmful substances, including mold, mildew, and CO2
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Equipment and machinery accidents
- Slip-and-falls
- Violence and robberies
When an accident occurs at your client’s cannabis industry business, the consequences can range from mild to severe. For example, a worker at a cannabis growing facility could suffer mild skin irritation from exposure to pesticides, while a machinery accident at the packaging stage could lead to serious and life-threatening injuries, like a traumatic amputation.
With on-the-job risks like these, your clients in the cannabis industry need Workers’ Compensation to protect their employees and their business. However, it can be difficult for your cannabis industry clients to find Workers’ Compensation coverage. This is because cannabis is often considered a high-risk injury due to the risk of exposure, machinery accidents, and other common industry accidents and injuries.
