Pollution liability & environmental risk insurance solutions
Heavy Haulage & Transport Operators
Safeguarding your operation against environmental risks
Transporting goods, chemicals, or hazardous materials exposes operators to environmental liability if spills or accidents occur during transit.
- Liability for accidental pollution or environmental damage
- Cover for contamination from transported materials
- Third-party property damage and clean-up costs
- Regulatory fines and legal defence costs
Heavy haulage and logistics operators face strict compliance requirements. A single environmental incident can halt operations, trigger legal action, and incur significant clean-up costs. T&G brokers design policies that align with transport routes, cargo types, and operational risks.
Contractors & Civil Construction
Protecting projects and worksites from environmental exposure
Construction and civil works can inadvertently cause soil, water, or air contamination. Contractors may also face liability for nearby ecosystems or adjacent properties.
- Pollution incidents from machinery, chemicals, or construction activities
- Liability for environmental damage on-site or third-party sites
- Remediation costs and regulatory penalties
- Legal defence and investigation expenses
Environmental liability is often excluded from standard construction insurance. Talking with a specialist broker at T&G can help ensure contractors and civil construction companies have policies designed to meet regulatory compliance and project-specific environmental risks.
Industrial & Heavy Equipment Businesses
Managing risk across plant and operations
Heavy industry, mining, and plant hire businesses face potential environmental exposures from machinery operation, chemical use, and waste handling.
- Accidental spills or emissions from plant and machinery
- Environmental clean-up and remediation costs
- Third-party property and ecological damage
- Legal costs arising from environmental claims
For industrial operators, environmental liability can result in multi-million-dollar claims. T&G brokers provide tailored coverage that protects your business while maintaining operational flexibility.

Why use an insurance broker?
Insurance can be a complex process, navigating through the various products, covers available, exclusions and confusing terminology.
