Consultant is probably expected to drive to client's premises - different ones, so different risk.
If you get wrong job description you might be shooting yourself in the foot - the insurance company will argue you provided materially wrong information that reduced your risk in their eyes. -

They must make a lot of money from lazy people.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much.
