Contractors Pollution Liability
Contractor Pollution Liability is also generally known as "CPL"
cover.
This is a specialist form of pollution liability insurance designed
specifically to protect the pollution risks facing remediation or
construction contractors that are working on sites which are
potentially contaminated.
Such operations present an ongoing risk of pollution or
contamination, as a result of disturbing or remobilising existing
contaminants or following unanticipated discharge, leakage or
spillage for example.
Increasingly many project specifications require adequate pollution
liability insurance to be in place. Contractors can arrange
this on a portfolio basis or on a project by project basis.
Some contractors may not be aware that their current polices do not
cover them for pollution liability and they should seek
advice.
Tysers have a wealth of knowledge in
contractors and construction insurance with overall project
insurance an area of key expertise.
