What is the best way to prevent a spill?

1. Have an emergency response and spill plan in place before any accidents happen.

2. Be careful when transferring hazardous liquids to avoid potential spills. Use DOT-approved safety cans to transport fuels and other combustibles. Deploy spill berms at fueling stations and when working on oily machinery.

3. Train workers on how to recognize and control hazards like chemical spills. Ensure they familiarize themselves with safety data sheets for any material kept on-site.

4. Store chemicals correctly to prevent the container from tipping or accidental damage. Be sure that all containers used for storing liquids are properly sealed.

5. Use spill decks or other appropriate containment systems with primary containers of 55 gallons or more.

6. Regularly inspect drums and other containers for signs of damage, cracks, or other wear.
