Environmental
Liability Insurance
Comprehensive Environmental Liability Insurance in Ontario
If your company deals with hazardous materials regularly or even just on an occasional basis, it’s impossible to guarantee that those materials won’t be leaked into the land, air or water as a result of human error or an equipment breakdown. If you’re not prepared, the resulting fines and mandated clean up can bankrupt your business. That’s why you need pollution and environmental liability insurance.
Do you really want to take the chance that a simple mistake or equipment failure can destroy all that you’ve worked to build?
What is Pollution and Environmental Liability Insurance?
Environmental liability insurance provides protection when contaminants have been released into the environment, causing bodily injury and/or property damage. Coverage can be extended to include remediation (removal) expenses.
Just a few examples include hazardous materials being released into local waterways due to cracked piping; carbon dioxide and other toxic gases being emitted into the atmosphere via improperly-installed vents; and proper hazardous material handling procedures not being followed by a contractor you hired to do work on your site.
