Make sure that recyclable material is separated at the source. Contaminated or otherwise unrecyclable
material should be removed, cleaned, or properly disposed of. Check with the installation environmental
office to verify and get information on the material being recycled in your area.
Implementing Techniques to Avoid Overuse or Pollution. Implementation of techniques to
protect training area land can be accomplished by integrating them into the environmental risk assessment
matrices, mission planning, SOP, orders, and training/performance standards.
PART F - VERIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT, PERSONNEL, AND CORRECT
PROCEDURES TO CONTAIN AND CLEAN UP A HAZMAT SPILL
Equipment and material required for each work area can be found in the local unit ISCP and SPCC. Prior to
beginning any operation, conduct an inspection of the petroleum facility to verify the presence/condition of
the following hazardous materials spill containment and cleanup equipment/materials:
Solusorb Solvent Absorbent.
Gloves.
Scoops.
Disposal bag/tie/label.
Instructions.
Periodically check the equipment/materials for serviceability, making sure that they are in serviceable
condition. Ensure that personnel are familiar with the local unit ISCP and SPCC.
Spill Containment and Clean-Up Training Verification. Periodically the supervisor of the
petroleum facility should conduct exercises to verify that personnel are trained in up-to-date spill containment
and cleanup procedures. Verify that petroleum facility personnel are current with the emergency spill
containment and cleanup procedures/requirements. Upon discovery of a spill, personnel shall take action as
follows:
Safely stop the source of the spill, if possible (closing valves, uprighting containers, etc.).
Contain the spill.
Apply absorbents.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Erect barriers or otherwise restrict or stop flow.
Block sewers.
When reporting a spill to the installation's fire and emergency service or 911, the following questions should
be considered to determine the nature and severity of the spill.
Is the spilled substance classified as a flammable liquid?
Is the quantity spilled 25 gallons or more?
Is the spill confined to a hard surface?
Is it possible that the spill will reach surface waters, wetlands, groundwater, streams, ditches, sewers, or
drains?
Does the reporting activity have the capability to contain or clean up the spill?
Is the spilled substance classified with a required quantity (RQ) value?
Not only is the appropriate equipment important when handling a spill, but it is also important to have
properly trained personnel. The supervisor's duty is to verify that personnel conducting an operation are
trained in the proper use of spill cleanup and containment equipment. Those handling the spill must also
employ the proper procedures IAW the ISCP and SPCC.
