What it does
CG 21 96 adds Coverage A exclusions for "bodily injury" arising in whole or in part out of the inhalation or ingestion of "silica" or "silica-related dust", "property damage" from contact with or presence of silica, and the costs of abating, testing, cleaning up or responding to silica. A matching Coverage B exclusion is added.
Who needs it
Masonry, concrete cutting, countertop fabrication, sandblasting, tile and stone, demolition, foundry, glass and mining-related accounts.
Key provisions and limits
- "Silica" means silicon dioxide in crystalline, amorphous and impure forms, silica particles, dust or compounds; "silica-related dust" is a mixture of silica and other dust or particles.
Quoting and selling notes
- Silicosis claims from engineered stone fabrication are a current loss driver; check how the client's products and work would be affected.
- CG 33 70 and CG 33 71 are versions for other coverage parts.
