Prevention is a Top Priority

The first step to implement an effective spill control plan is to ensure that liquid storage standards are adhered to in your facility. Your company should use containment equipment to stop accidental spills when cracks, leaks or fissures are discovered in the container that was originally.

Maintenance staff from your business must regularly check containers as well as safety devices to make sure that they are in good working order. Any problems that are discovered must be documented and reported to carry out the needed repairs. If you are conducting a spill containment inspection, the crew must be looking for the following signs:

• Pooling, Drip Marks or Puddling

• Leaks or holes may occur at the connection points

• Corrosion or Degradation

• Slow drips or tracks

• Other signs of malfunction or failure in equipment

Your company and its employees must have a spill prevention plan in place. Implementing spill containment procedures along with safety protocols, as well as maintenance inspections are just a few important ways to keep your employees and the worksite protected. Northern Platforms can help. Northern Platforms our team can help you choose the most effective spill containment system for your workplace.

Prepare for the unexpected

If the primary method of containment is not working, having a second containment system is the second line of protection from accidental spills. If there is an undiscovered leak or drip secondary spill containment will aid in stopping the spread of the liquid. Utilizing both passive and active methods for containing spills is the most effective way to ensure that your workplace and your employees are secure. Here are a few examples of both active as well as inactive spill containment methods.

Active Spill Containment

• Drain Covers

• Spill Kits

• IBC containment

• Drum containment

• Temporary berms or walls for containment

• Railcar track pans

Passive Spill Containment

• Pads, Mats, and socks

• Drip Pans or buckets

• Spill Diversions, or Underground Storage

• Absorbent Safety Floor Mats

Active spill containment requires you to have your employees put the safety equipment in place when there is a spill or leak. While passive spill containment equipment is placed on top of the tank or container prior to when an incident occurs.
