What type of insurance is not typically associated with protecting contractors?

Health insurance is generally not associated with protecting contractors in the same way that other forms of insurance are. The primary focus of contractor insurance is to shield businesses from risks related to their operations, such as injuries on the job site, damage to property, and liabilities arising from business activities.

Workers' compensation insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees who are injured on the job. General liability insurance protects against claims of bodily injury or property damage that may occur during the course of a contractor's work. Automobile liability insurance provides coverage for vehicles used in business operations, protecting against accidents that may occur while driving in the course of business.

While health insurance is important for the well-being of employees and may be provided by contractors as an employee benefit, it does not specifically protect the contractor's business from risks associated with construction activities. Thus, it gives less focus to the operations and liabilities inherent in the contracting business.
