Two significant areas in which Environmental Consultants and Engineers can be at risk when advising on sites are:
1.
Failure to identify that a site is contaminated, or the nature and extent of contamination.
2.

Consultants may be held liable for acts and omissions, as well as for advice given, and subsequent claims for bodily injury and property damage.
