Forestry and Logging · NAICS 113 · Insurance Policy Agreement

An insurance policy agreement is a critical contract between a forestry or logging business and its insurer, outlining the terms of coverage for the unique risks of timber harvesting and related operations. From feller bunchers and skidders to chainsaw crews working in remote locations, logging operations face hazards that standard business policies often overlook. This tailored agreement ensures that your equipment, liability, and workers are protected, and that landowners and timber buyers are named as additional insureds when required. Generate a clear, industry-specific draft that you can review with your insurance broker to secure the right coverage for your operation.

Frequently asked questions

What types of insurance are essential for a logging business?

Most logging operations need general liability, commercial auto, workers' compensation, and inland marine or equipment coverage. Depending on your contracts, you may also need timber or harvesting operations coverage. This agreement helps you document these policies clearly.

Why do landowners or timber buyers ask to be additional insureds?

They want protection if your operations cause damage to their property or injure someone on their land. Adding them as additional insureds ensures they are covered under your policy, which is often a requirement in timber sale or access agreements.

Can I use this agreement to bind coverage with an insurance company?

No. This document is a draft agreement that outlines the terms you intend to have with your insurer. It must be reviewed and finalized by a licensed insurance professional or broker before it becomes a binding policy.
