Underground Storage Tanks: Issues and Solutions

There are an estimated 500,000 Underground Storage Tanks (UST's) in the province of B.C. Old or improperly maintained tanks frequently leak, causing environmental damage and subsequent liability losses. Current legal conditions call for all future residential and commercial building / land sales to have a UST inspection and certification completed. As many brokers and their clients have recently discovered, failure to do so can lead to refusal of coverage by insurers. In this pre-recorded web broadcast seminar, learn from an expert in the oil tank industry how UST's should be inspected and/or safely and legally decommissioned to the satisfaction of government regulations and all parties. This will help guide you in your dealings with underwriters and your clients when UST's become an issue. The various topics discussed include: government legislation, oil tank location services, types of fuel, tank life-spans, decommissioning quotes, types of decommissioning, municipal permits and inspections, engineering services, and the effects on the insurance industry. Who Should Attend: All brokers at all levels.
