Contractors, whether undertaking remediation work or working on contaminated sites, are exposed to a wide variety of liabilities imposed by regulatory authorities or by the contractual requirements of individual customers. In most instances these risks will not be covered by their general liability policies. Additionally, gradual pollution conditions may only become evident some time after work is completed and contractors and property owners can find themselves liable many months or even years after the relevant contract is completed.
Our Contractors Pollution Liability product has been designed to protect contractors, site owners and developers, by covering them for cover cleanup cost, property damage and third party liabilities arising from pollution. Contractors and environmental consultants can purchase contract specific cover or blanket cover for all sites or operations being worked on as appropriate tailored for their specific needs. In addition property owners can purchase cover on behalf of contractors working on their site(s) safeguarding their own interests. Occurrence based policies are available to give ongoing cover for gradual pollution conditions after the contract has been completed.
