SPILL PREVENTION. Prior to commencement of loading or discharging operations, all overboard lines are to be checked to ensure that they are securely closed. Pumproom stripping line overboard discharges shall be suitably blanked off before arriving in port. These blanks are to be installed and retained in line through the entire period that the Vessels are in coastal waters. All other precautions are to be taken to avoid any spillage and/or leakage. If during loading or discharging operations there is any indication of spillage or leakage of oil or CPP cargo, the Vessels shall immediately cease all pumping operations and notify the Owner’s DPA (Dedicated Position Ashore), terminal representative(s) and/or Charterer’s supervisor(s). The Vessels shall not resume loading or discharging operations until a thorough investigation is conducted and appropriate remedies are taken, and any time lost shall be for Owner’s account, should such spillage or leakage of oil be found to have occurred due to the negligence of Vessels’ crew or condition of the Vessels. Notwithstanding the above, Owner shall always comply with the terms of Clause 4.2.
SPILL PREVENTION. Control, and Countermeasures Plan The last sentence of the first paragraph is revised to read: An SPCC Plan template and guidance information is available at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xx.xxx/environment/technical/disciplines/hazardous-materials/spill- prevent-report.
SPILL PREVENTION a. List and describe the material management practices that will be used to reduce the risk of spills or other accidental exposure of materials and substances to storm water runoff. The general construction site superintendent is responsible for cleaning up and disposition of spills.
SPILL PREVENTION. Spill prevention procedures shall be followed when handling, collecting, storing, transferring, or processing oil.
SPILL PREVENTION. Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) This section of the SPCC shall include the following:
SPILL PREVENTION. The structure in the Drain at Check 19 has been modified to prevent drainage waters from flowing southerly and to provide a mechanism to allow any groundwater that has seeped into the Drain south of Check 19 to be discharged downstream as necessary to prevent overtopping. The Drain will continue to be operated and maintained to prevent drainage water from flowing south of Check 19 and to allow groundwater from south of Check 19 to spill into the Drain as necessary to prevent overtopping.
SPILL PREVENTION. Voltage acknowledges that any amount of hazardous material released to the environment is harmful to human health and the environment. As such, our employees will take every reasonable step to safeguard against this occurrence by meticulously maintaining our equipment, performing daily equipment inspections and applying controls during storage and fueling operations. Spill response objectives will be clearly communicated, measurable and achievable. Effective planning and execution of responses is based on coordination and allocation of resources effectively (i.e., people, equipment, time). General Spill Prevention practices will include: ▪ All equipment will be inspected daily, prior to use, and in good operating condition, clean of oil, grease and other contaminants and all hydraulic systems, fuel systems and lubricating systems will be in good repair; ▪ Equipment that experiences a leak or has the potential to release hazardous fluid will immediately stop working and be taken out of service until issue is resolved; ▪ All fuel must be stored properly on site and have approved secondary containment and proper fuel handling, storage and transportation procedures will be strictly enforced; ▪ Parking, fuelling, servicing or washing machines or equipment will not occur within 100 meters of a watercourse; ▪ On-site storage of fuel, lubricants and oils will be avoided whenever possible. Where these products are required in the field, proper handling and storage procedures will be obeyed; ▪ On-site re-fueling and equipment repairs will be avoided, whenever practical. If required, refueling will occur in designated and approved areas and proper refueling procedures will be followed; ▪ Used oil, filter and grease cartridges, lubrication containers and other equipment maintenance products will be collected, removed from site and disposed of at the nearest registered hazardous waste facility; ▪ Spill kits must be kept on-site, particularly in areas where oil and fuel-filled equipment will be working and be readily available in order to respond to a spill, should one occur; and ▪ A list of emergency contacts will be posted or kept at a predetermined known site.
SPILL PREVENTION. Containment, and Clean-up The Contractor shall prevent, contain, clean up, and report all spills on Government property caused by the Contractor, in a manner that complies with applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
SPILL PREVENTION. The Contractor shall have available equipment (e.g., secondary containment pallets, absorbent pads, absorbent booms, or other absorbent agents) that are suitable and sufficient to control a potential spill/release based on the inventory of oil, hazardous chemicals, and other materials that will be broughtg and/or stored on-site. • The Contractor is responsible for immediately identifying conveyances to the environment (e.g., sumps, storm/floor drains, etc.) and adequately minimizing spill potential to these areas. • The Contractor is responsible for the proper storage of all flammable and combustible chemicals that are brought and/or stored on site to complete work of this contract. Such storage may require the use of safety containers, safety cabinets, and/or secondary containment. The Contractor shall also ensure that any incompatible chemicals are safely segregated. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining and securing all chemical containers and all chemical storage areas. This requires selecting locations and methods to minimize exposure to rainfall, surface water, and the ground surface or subsurface. Enclosures, shelters, and secondary containment should be used where appropriate. • The Contractor must use appropriate protective procedures such as double containment, inspections, employee training, overflow protection, and other measures as part of activities involving the use, storage, or handling of petroleum products or hazardous materials on WPCB facilities. • The Contractor must ensure that their employees are adequately trained in spill response/notification procedures outlined below.
SPILL PREVENTION. The best way to manage a spills mitigation program is to eliminate or reduce the possibility of their occurrence. Plan and prepare your work. Practice the protocol with non-hazardous materials until comfortable with the procedures. Eliminate clutter. Check all glassware and equipment for defects before commencing work. Allow adequate time to perform the procedures including cleanup. Incidents occur when people are tired, rushed, or distracted. Minimizing the consequence of spills. If spills do occur, you can minimize the aggravation and time by organizing the work and the work area. Eliminate all extra materials that are not immediately required. Eliminate all porous materials. Materials such as cardboard boxes and cloth chairs cannot be decontaminated and will need to be discarded if contaminated. Do NOT use the lab for storage of supplies. If there is no other area for storage, keep supplies in impervious containers such as plastic totes that can be easily decontaminated or in cupboards with doors that can be disinfected. Do not keep supplies in cardboard boxes in the biocontainment laboratory. Use benchcoat (absorbent plastic-backed material) when manipulating biohazardous materials. Types of spills. Spills of biohazardous materials can be divided into two groups: A MINOR BIOLOGICAL SPILL is one that can be handled safely by laboratory personnel without the assistance of safety and emergency personnel. Minor spills include spills inside a biological safety cabinet that involve the release of RG1 and RG2 organisms. A MAJOR BIOLOGICAL SPILL is one that requires handling under the direction of the Principal Investigator and/or outside assistance. These spills include the release of: RG2 organisms outside of a biological safety cabinet. A large volume (more than 10 mL) of RG2 organisms whether in or outside the biological safety cabinet. Release of viable organisms to the environment that may result in harm to people, animals or plants. ANY RG3 organism. Spills outside of a biological safety cabinet are always potentially more hazardous than one that is contained. Organisms infectious by the aerosol route are especially hazardous. Procedures in event of a spill. Each Principal Investigator is responsible for developing a work- specific spill mitigation plan as procedures and equipment vary from workplace to workplace. A sample plan may be found in Appendix 2.
