8. Outside Leaks & Spills

10. Drain Covers Storm drains are a major entry point into US waters, which can trigger multiple violations. Tip: Cover drains during bulk transfer as a precaution. NPDES 40 CFR 122.26 SPCC 40 CFR 112.7

12. Covered Storage Weather-tight buildings expand storage and prevent rainwater from mixing with chemicals. Tip: Use a ramp for safe loading and unloading. RCRA 40 CFR 264.175 RCRA 40 CFR 262.34 (c) (1) NPDES 40 CFR 122.26 SPCC 40 CFR 112.7

15. Inside Leaks and Spills

17. Loading Docks Kits contain a variety of absorbents to address the type and quantity of spill. Tip: Keep kit locations well marked and conduct regular inspection of contents. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 SPCC 40 CFR 112.7 (c) (1) (vii)

19. Battery Storage Designate a specific area and provide secondary containment. Tip: Store acid neutralizing spill kits and proper PPE nearby. Eyewash stations are required. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178

20. Leaks & Drips Good housekeeping practices prevent slips and falls. Tip: Non-slip footwear should have a large area of contact with a soft tread and diverting channels. Tip: Socks quickly surround and absorb. Tip: Berms can be designed for drive over traffic. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22(a)

21. Fluid Maintenance Effective fluid change out procedures prevent spills. Tip: Use flexible funnels to control hard to reach plugs and filters. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22(a) NPDES 40 CFR 122.26
