Worker Compensation Insurance for Event Planning Businesses in Oregon
Why Event Planning Businesses in Oregon Need Worker Compensation Insurance
Event planning involves many physically demanding and high-risk tasks:
Lifting and transporting heavy equipment, decorations, and furniture
Setting up stages, tents, lighting, and audio-visual equipment
Working on ladders or elevated platforms
Handling electrical cords, tools, and machinery
Risk of slips, trips, and falls during setup or teardown
Injuries from moving vehicles, parking lots, or crowded venues

Without worker’s compensation, your business is financially liable for medical costs, lost wages, and potential lawsuits resulting from workplace accidents.
