Spill Management
Spill management refers to the processes and procedures used to contain, clean up, and prevent spills of hazardous materials. This includes identifying potential spill sources, training personnel, and using appropriate equipment to minimize environmental impact. Effective spill management is crucial in industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and transportation.
Key components of spill management include spill response plans, regular drills, and proper storage of materials. Organizations often implement spill kits containing absorbent materials and tools to quickly address spills. Compliance with regulations, such as those set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is essential for protecting public health and the environment.
