General Liability Insurance for Brass, Copper & Pewter Specialty Stores Brass, copper, and pewter specialty stores should not have significant premises liability risks. However, the property must be maintained by keeping the store in good condition with adequate walk space and flooring that is in good repair.

Property Insurance for Brass, Copper & Pewter Specialty Stores – The fire load at brass, copper, and pewter specialty stores may include flammable polishes and cleaning supplies in addition to packing materials and trash. Controls should be in place when storing flammable and combustible liquids. Excess polishes and cleaning supplies should be stored in a fireproof cabinet in a separate room from the main store. A “no smoking” policy should be in place to reduce fire risks.

Crime Insurance for Brass, Copper & Pewter Specialty Stores Brass, copper, and pewter specialty stores should use detailed applications and check references in an attempt to hire honest employees. Employee theft can be better controlled if a division of duties is required where one employee cannot steal without being in collusion with another employee.
