Options below have reviewed by pollution prevention specialists. They are commonly recommended and implemented
for facilities. |
| |
| Berm working areas with curbing |
| Berm working areas with curbing, similar to a concrete dike, so that spills can be easily contained for cleanup. |
| |
| Manage placement of containers |
| Place storage containers in a convenient and safe place. Try to avoid moving waste long distances. |
| |
| Use shop rags |
| Use shop rags for small spills and absorbent for larger spills. Absorbents should be easily accessible anywhere in the shop and may require disposal as hazardous waste, if saturated. |
| |
| Use drain mats or plugs |
| Use drain mats or plugs to prevent spilled fluids from entering sanitary or storm drains, plus to help contain spilled fluids for cleanup. If possible, seal or remove unused floor drains to prevent accidental discharge to the sewer system. |
| |
| Use drip pans |
| Place drip pans or absorbent mats under leaking equipment or where spills are likely to occur. |
