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.
