Morning!

My query is that the company which I work for uses a transport haulier to ship our GRP Housings to customers around the country. I'm wondering if there was an accident due to human error via the haulier or a customer not following offloading procedures where would my company stand in this situation due to the product being ours. An accident involving the offloading of these buildings via HIAB Crane could be potentially detremental. The haulier is comptently trained in the use of the HIAB crane and has a lot of experience offloading our products, I'm just wondering what the situation would be legally if an incident was to occur e.g. serious injury to a customer.

Is this where our product liability is required? 

All help & guidence appreciated.

To add to what Hsquared has said , its also good to have done your "Due Dilligance Checks" so its clear why you have chosen this 3rd party - you cannot just pass on all responsibility - so i would be asking about thier accident record, driver training etc (which you have mentioned) to show why you deamed them an apporpriate partner. If delivery is part of your contract with the end user i would also be makeing sure they knew exactly how the product was being delivered so they had the right procedures on site - then you should be fairly well covered.
