Spill control refers to the methods and practices used to manage and contain accidental releases of liquids, particularly hazardous materials. This includes the use of absorbent materials, barriers, and containment systems to prevent spills from spreading and causing environmental damage. Effective spill control is essential in industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and transportation. Proper spill control measures also involve training personnel on how to respond to spills quickly and safely. Regular inspections and maintenance of equipment, such as spill kits and containment berms, are crucial to ensure readiness in case of an emergency. Compliance with regulations set by organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is also important for minimizing risks.
