The storage of fuels, chemicals and other potential pollutants presents a unique set of environmental contamination risks.

These can lead to financial penalties and legal action for operators and business owners. Claims of this nature can easily exceed R1 million for an average-sized site and may take years to complete. The owner/operator will be held liable for the clean-up and rehabilitation costs. The government may fine up to R10 million and/or 10 years in jail for non-compliance following an incident.

Cover includes costs related to the clean-up and rehabilitation of contaminated areas in respect of an environmental incident which occurs as a direct consequence of the spillage or leakage of any dangerous goods or pollutants arising from storage in any Underground Storage Tanks (USTs), or the associated underground piping reticulation network, on any premises, as listed in the Schedule. On request, the policy may extend to include gradual pollution. The policy includes investigation of loss – an investigation if any irregularities occur – and 1st party loss (own property clean-up). The policy meets the Department of Energy licence requirements for financial provision for rehabilitation.
