Why is Spill Training Necessary?

Equip your team with the essential skills to handle unexpected spillages safely and effectively with formal Spillage Management and Response Training.
Delivered in a flexible and convenient online self-paced half-day format, this course teaches participants how to manage and deal with spillages effectively mitigating environmental and health and safety issues. Delegates can complete the course from the comfort of their home or workplace at their own pace.

Spills can be Costly

Material spills can happen at any time, with no warning. They can pose a health and safety risk to people, pollute the environment and disrupt business operations. These impacts can be immediate, far reaching and long lasting.

If your organisation has polluted, it may be responsible for the clean up costs. These can be expensive, particularly if groundwater has been contaminated.

Furthermore, in breaking regulations and legislation, heavy fines can be imposed and the company’s reputation seriously damaged.

Quick Response is Crucial

The initial response to a spill can make a big difference to the detrimental effects and outcomes. When dealing with any type of spill, inappropriate or delayed action can significantly worsen the environmental impacts and/or threaten public health. Contingency planning and timely response are the key factors to stopping a spill from becoming a serious incident.

Employees Need to be Prepared

The majority of employees on building sites have never received any formal spill kit training. When spills happen, employees usually don’t know what to do and panic is usually the end response.

Furthermore, studies have shown that many spill kits and contingency plans kept on UK building sites are either inadequate or not fit for purpose. This points to lack of training. The consequence is ineffective action in dealing with the incident, lost time and money, which inevitably results in environmental pollution, safety issues and disruption to operations.

Formal Spill Response training can help you to Comply with Legislation, such as:

  • The Control of Pollution (England) Oil Storage Regulations (2001)
  • The Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) (England) Regulations 2015
  • The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (Wales) Regulations 2016
  • The Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012
  • Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH)
  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002 (COSHH)
  • The Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999
  • The Water Industries and Resources Act 1991

It also ensures that you comply to ISO 14001:2015 (EMS)

Under clause 8.2 “Emergency Preparedness and Response” of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, organisations are required to prepare plans to prevent or mitigate environmental impacts from emergency situations and respond to emergencies. This also includes periodically testing and reviewing planned response actions and providing relevant training where required, accompanied by documentation to show these procedures are working.

Formal training also helps you to comply to ISO 45001:2018 (OH&S)

ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety System also contains clause 8.2 “Emergency Preparedness and Response”, where the organisation must ensure that it addresses all potential OH&S impacts.

The process should focus on the prevention of ill-health and injury to all personnel including workers, contractors, visitors, neighbours, members of the general public and emergency services personnel and should take account of applicable OH&S legislation.
