Oil spill tips
By AV Rampersad
In the event of an oil spill, remember safety first, second
and third. Here we go: Safely stop the flow of oil. Do not
get oil on your skin. Contain oil. Close isolating valves.
Use spill kit. Stop oil from entering the watercourse or
soaking into the ground. Never wash spilt oil into drains,
the ground. Use correct chemicals to clean spilt oil. You
could cause a worse pollution incident. Workers always
wear the proper PPE.
Safety is not what it costs but what it saves.
Are we clear?
