Save money with multi-use environmental survey

Environmental site surveys are an excellent risk management tool, although they are often considered solely to achieve a single objective such as to qualify for environmental insurance or to secure a business loan. To make a survey really work for you, try to make it perform several functions. Plan ahead for future uses such as:

  • Qualifying for environmental insurance (and reducing the premium)

  • Informing insurers for other property and casualty covers

  • Business financing

  • Occupational health and safety

  • Spill control and emergency procedures

  • As a component in a due diligence defence to future environmental charges.

More survey tips

  • A pre-binding survey at your expense is usually a necessary part of placing an EIL risk.

  • We'll reduce the first year's premium by up to 10 per cent to help defray the survey costs.

  • We'll absorb the cost of any renewal survey as well. For most risks, the survey will therefore be a one-time requirement, although there may be cases where mid-term acquisitions require additional or follow-up inspections.
