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.
