Construction projects have many benefits to a community, particularly in the economic aspect. However, there are some short-term negative aspects that construction projects bring including traffic issues, noise and potentially pollution. A Certified Environmentally Responsible Contractor (CERC) has trained their employees to mitigate their environmental risks. For some contractors, this training is above and beyond any company-specific or safety-related training they already receive. In addition, a CERC has obtained pollution liability insurance coverage that will respond to pollution-related claims that arise due to their contracting operations. Therefore, communities can be confident that when the project is completed, no adverse pollution impacts will be left behind or unaddressed.
