What calibrated coverage looks like for extraction & manufacturing
Both cannabis manufacturing and cannabis extraction are tasked with transforming the pure crop into a consumable alternative. Though the processes vary, both operations are very labor intensive, require a great deal of equipment and are “plant touching” operations.

Calibrated coverage, customized to your business. So your risk profile is as good as your terpene profile.
Manufacturers typically use equipment or machinery that is expensive to replace or repair. And this equipment is generally stored inside secure buildings. Without adequate protection, damage to equipment or buildings could add up to out-of-pocket costs.
Manufacturers face legal liability arising from others using the product (flower). Even if it’s not your brand, you may face a lawsuit should someone get hurt or sick from the use of your product.
Many farmhands or workers operate heavy machinery and handle high-hazard materials. Unfortunately, if an employee gets ill or hurt on the job, the manufacturer is typically held responsible for medical costs and lost wages.
Each state and municipality has laws about growing, selling, and distributing cannabis products. Complying with federal, state, and local laws is undoubtedly challenging for cannabis manufacturers and extractors. Unfortunately, these operational challenges can lead to infractions, often resulting in insurance-related claims.
