Spill Prevention
Spill prevention refers to the strategies and practices implemented to avoid accidental releases of hazardous materials into the environment. This includes proper storage, regular maintenance of equipment, and employee training to recognize and respond to potential spill risks. Effective spill prevention helps protect natural resources and public health.
Key components of spill prevention include the use of secondary containment systems, such as spill pallets and drums, which can catch leaks before they spread. Additionally, organizations often conduct risk assessments to identify vulnerable areas and implement safety measures tailored to their specific operations.
