If your company deals with hazardous
substances, make sure you take the correct precautions to ensure any
spills are contained and managed. Today it is not only our duty to
protect the environment, but also a legal requirement. Fines can also be
very hefty, easily outweighing any cost to prevent the spill in the
first place. Secondary spill containment
liners, which are sometimes called berm liners, are used for the
containment of liquids and gases thereby preventing contamination or
pollution of the environment.
As an example, in November 2014, a waste
oil processing company was fined $22,500 and legal costs because they
failed to store liquid waste properly. This resulted in pollution to a
storm water canal and local creek. (link to fine http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/epamedia/EPAMedia14111403.htm)
