Even the best planned construction projects carry a risk of causing unintended pollution, from disturbing buried waste to accidental leaks and spills.

If toxic material gets into the atmosphere, rivers or groundwater, it can cause a risk to human health and potential biodiversity loss.

In our recent webinar on 23 May 2023 , we looked at the environmental risks faced by the industry and what companies can do to prevent pollution happening.

We also heard how insurance can help to cover exposures if an incident does occur, while minimizing any reputational damage.

We explored:

  • The different types of pollution
  • The causes and consequences of pollution incidents
  • What environmental insurance covers
  • How insurance can help reduce admin time and cost on projects
  • Real world case studies of incidents and claims
