Although project owners may not be involved in any of the construction activities, the ultimate responsibility lies with them. Project delays not only affect the schedule, but in some cases can have serious financial impacts on the project owner’s bottom line. Environmental incidents at the jobsite have the ability to severely impact both the schedule and financing of a project. A Certified Environmentally Responsible Contractor (CERC) is trained and insured to prevent environmental incidents from happening and has the financial backing to clean up incidents should they occur as a result of their contracting operations. The benefits of hiring a CERC include:
- Builds confidence in general and subcontractors
- Reduce the likelihood of an environmental claim on a project
- Minimize the probability of project delays due to an environmental incident
- Provides coverage for claims due to environmental incidents
- Avoid negative public perception due to an environmental incident
- Improve overall safety of employees and visitors at the jobsite
By hiring a CERC, owners are putting their projects in good hands.
In addition, materials either generated or produced at your facility that require transport can be part of an environmental incident that can leave you exposed to litigation and cleanup. Hiring a CERC certified transporter can protect your bottom line. The benefits of hiring a CERC certified transporter include the following:
- Reduce the likelihood of an environmental incident occurring during transport of your materials, chemicals, or wastes
- Minimize the possibility that your company will become liable for claims related to a release occurring during transport
- Avoid negative public perception due to an environmental incident involving your materials, chemicals, or wastes
- Reduce the possibility of not meeting a customer’s need for a raw material or product due to an accident during transport
