Contractors Pollution Liability
The general public is increasingly aware of contractors’ responsibilities to protect the environment and manage the disposal of hazardous material.
With major environmental events such as pipeline spills and climate change drawing daily media attention, the general public is increasingly, aware of contractors’ responsibilities to protect the environment and manage the disposal of hazardous material. If potentially dangerous chemicals are accidentally released into the air or contaminate the soil, contractors can be held liable for the resulting damages to the environment. As a result, many organizations are now contractually required to obtain insurance packages that specifically address pollution when they’re hired to do a job.

TriPoint Insurance Underwriting can provide Site Pollution Coverage for spills, leaks and other exposures that occur on owned or operated sites. Environmental risks can be complex and TriPoint can help provide solutions to manage your clients’ inherent business pollution risks.
Storage Tanks
When operating or owning a storage tank, it is important that the tank is maintained and checked routinely. If the tank is leaking or becomes damaged, the spilled gas or oil can contaminate the neighbouring area. This could result in the storage tank owner being held liable for costly clean-ups and third-party damages. These situations are not covered by standard General Liability policies and require specific coverage.
