I work in the rail sector and I have come up against this issue as well, I've also had it in previous construction jobs.
Its slightly different as I'm a dirty contractor, but I asked to see the risk assessment for people who drive between the sites that I cycle between, I then just filled it in this for my cycling. They asked about insurance and I showed them my BC insurance and my company insurance and the problem went away.
A few staff who are permanent cycle between project sites across Southwark and Lewisham so I'll ask them what they have had to do too.
I still get treated like I'm insane for cycling about for work, but that may also be because I'm the 'Environmental support'....
