Contractors Pollution Occurrence (CPO) Overview:

Contractors Pollution Occurrence (CPO) protects contractors against claims for third-party bodily injury, property damage or environmental damage arising from pollution conditions caused in the performance of covered operations. The coverage applies to sudden and gradual pollution events and responds to cleanup costs, both on and off the work site. CPO provides coverage for events arising from the performance of covered operations by the insured or subcontractors, claims alleging improper supervision of subcontractors against the insured, and coverage for claims arising out of environmental work performed by the insured or subcontractor. CPO is available on a claims-made basis as Contractors Pollution Liability (CPL).

Benefits:

Our markets provide broad environmental coverage as opposed to the limited give backs or no coverage afforded by CGL programs. Government agencies have varying standards concerning contractors' environmental liability in remediation work. The occurrence coverage will separate the contractors from their competitors to successfully negotiate and win contracts with these governmental agencies. The CPO policy provides protection against third-party action over claims to include coverage for liability assumed by the named insured under an insured contract. This enhancement protects the insured against pollution-related damages arising out of contractual liabilities excluded under the insured's Commercial General Liability policy.
