About the course
Manufacturing operations that use chemicals face complex property, liability, and environmental exposures that extend far beyond traditional commercial insurance. This course examines manufacturing risk management, chemical storage hazards, and Environmental Impairment Liability (EIL), helping brokers identify and address the risks created by industrial processes, hazardous materials, and pollution events. You'll learn how process hazards, machinery, fire protection, quality assurance, and supply chain dependencies affect manufacturing risks, while exploring chemical storage practices, contamination exposures, business interruption, and the limitations of Commercial General Liability coverage for pollution losses. The course also explains how Environmental Impairment Liability responds to on-site and off-site cleanup, regulatory actions, third-party claims, and claims-made pollution exposures. By the end of this course, you'll be better equipped to recognize environmental and manufacturing risks, recommend appropriate pollution and property insurance solutions, and help clients build comprehensive risk management strategies that protect their operations, reputation, and financial stability.
