Contractors Pollution Liability

Chartis is a leading provider of Contractors Pollution Liability coverage, designed exclusively to protect contractors against pollution releases. CPL covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims, as well as clean-up costs arising from pollution released due to covered operations.
Overview Back To Top

Contractors are exposed to a wide variety of liabilities imposed by regulatory authorities and/or the contractual requirements of individual clients. What’s more, gradual pollution conditions may become evident long after a project is completed – leaving contractors and property owners suddenly liable many months or even years later.

Contractors Pollution Liability provides comprehensive protection for contractors, site owners and developers against sudden, accidental and gradual pollution releases.

Coverage is available worldwide and can be tailored to meet individual needs and unique insurance requirements.  This cover may be purchased by property owners on behalf of contractors working on their site.
