Are Pros insured by YellowBird?
Yes! We cover the YellowBird Pros with the following insurance policies:
Occupational Accident Coverage (OAC): Our OAC policy covers our Pros against any injury or disability that occurs while working a YellowBird job. After a Pro completes the onboarding process, they are added to our census of covered individuals. Our operations team sends each Pro a certificate so they have all the information needed should they need to file a claim.
Personal Liability: This policy covers the professional work of our Pros while they are working YellowBird jobs. This $1 Million policy handles any claims of errors or omission on the work from our Pros.
Hired/Non-Owned Auto Coverage: This policy protects our Pros from auto accidents in relation to driving to, from and during a YellowBird job. The primary coverage in an accident is the Pro’s personal auto insurance but this acts as a secondary safeguard.
We are committed to the safety of our own Pros and as part of that commitment, we offer this coverage. This way, our Pros can do what they do best without worrying about coverage, and the Companies know that YellowBird has it under control.
Can I meet or review the Pros?
For Extended Pro Placement (EPP), you may have the opportunity to meet with Pros. For short term jobs, you’ll be matched to a Pro based on expertise, certifications, location and more using YellowBird’s matching algorithms.
What’s your most popular service?
Our most popular service is our Mock OSHA Assessment. A YellowBird Pro will come in person to review your job site and provide a written report of issues that are out of compliance. With their trained eye, you’ll be able to implement their recommendations to minimize any issues when OSHA comes knocking.
Where are your Pros located?
YellowBird works with thousands of Pros in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. In addition, many of our Pros are willing to travel and with YellowBird’s no hidden fees policy, you will never be charged for travel, per diem, mileage or any other add-on price!
