YellowBird promotes equity with free insurance coverage for EHS gig workers
YellowBird, a nationwide on-demand marketplace that matches Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) professionals with businesses, is proud to announce a new policy that reinforces its core belief in equity and equality for all workers. By providing Professional & General Liability Coverage for all YellowBird professionals at no charge the company will remove economic hurdles for independent Risk and EHS consultants.
While general liability insurance protects clients against physical injury to people or damage to property, professional liability insurance covers negligence related to professional services or advice. Many organizations require this insurance for any contractor or freelancer working on-site or virtually on their behalf. By providing all professionals with insurance coverage, YellowBird’s gig economy platform gives equal opportunity for professionals who are offered jobs based expressly on their experience, background, certifications, and skills.
