Insurance solutions for NDT & Radioactive isotope transport in Western Canada

//

If you business involves Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or the transport of radioactive isotopes, you already know the risk are anything but ordinary. Whether you’re operating in Alberta, British Columbia, or Saskatchewan, having the right insurance coverage is essential.

Why specialized insurance matters

Standard commercial policies often fall short when it comes to:

Radiation exposure liability, transporting up to 100 curries (generally Iridium-192, but others are considered), environmental contamination, regulatory compliance. More curries can be considered.

That’s why we offer custom commercial auto and liability packages, designed for NDT technicians, isotopes carriers and industrial service providers.

SEF 4B – Permission to Carry Radioactive Materials

If your operations involve transporting radioactive isotopes, you’ll need to add SEF 4B to your Commercial Auto policy. This endorsement: Authorizes the transport of radioactive materials. Overrides exclusions in standard auto policies related to nuclear energy hazards. Helps ensure liability protection in case of an accident or exposure event.

“Permission is hereby given for the automobile to be used to carry the following described type(s) of radioactive material and no other…” — Alberta SEF 4B Form

Liability & Errors and Omissions Coverage

In addition to Commercial Auto, we also provide:

  • General Liability Insurance — Covers bodily injury, property damage, and radiation exposure claims during NDT operations.
  • Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance — Also known as Professional Liability, this protects your business if a client claims financial loss due to a mistake, oversight, or misinterpretation in your testing or reporting.

Whether you’re conducting radiographic inspections or ultrasonic testing our E&O coverage helps safeguard your reputation and finances.

“Professional Liability and E&O coverage are essential for NDT technicians — because even small errors can lead to big consequences.”

Darren King – Insurance Broker – July 21, 2025

Most contractors understand the importance of Errors & Omissions insurance — especially in high-stakes sectors like NDT and radioactive transport. That’s why we include it as part of our liability package: to make sure you’re covered from every angle, without needing to piece it together yourself.”
