Spill containment

摘要

ANSWER: Providing secondary containment for containers, tanks, processes and waste storage areas limits the potential for hazardous chemical releases. It also minimizes the amount of time that will be spent cleaning up spills. In some cases, it can even allow spilled product to be recovered for reuse. The Environmental Protection Agency's Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Rule allows both active and passive secondary containment methods to be used to meet certain requirements of the rule. Secondary containment methods often can be applied to other EPA and OSHA standards as well.
