enter controlled waters - as defined by YOUR COUNTRY’S law?
Would you

Do you know what a Hazardous and

Are your employees trained to control
and clean up a spill if it occurs?
Legislation often states, that under certain circumstances,
businesses should have contingency plans, in order to minimise hazards and
outline the actions that are to be taken by their staff in the event of a
spill!
It is not legislation
that can now be ignored
Such legislation imposes penalties on businesses and their
employees who were found liable for causing pollution of controlled waters.
If found liable penalties
can include:
Ø
Financial Penalties
Ø
Terms of Imprisonment
Ø
The polluter pays policy (in most cases) for
the total spill clean-up: whether it is accidental or as a result of vandalism,
if proven it’s the polluters own negligence
Ø
Public knowledge of your offence

Current legislation is as sound today, as it
was when it came on to the Statute Books and is being actively enforced!

New legislation will require businesses to
be accountable for and, to be seen, to protect the environment from pollution.

of your premises and processing plants. Plans comprise the following sections:
