Summary <br /> This brings us to the end of the course. Here's a summary of the main points you should <br /> remember. <br /> Reviewing these now will help you on the test. <br /> Types of Spills <br /> • Small fuel spills that happen at the fuel islands. <br /> • Large fuel spills usually caused by a damaged fuel tank on a truck. <br /> ■ Spills of unknown substances. <br /> 1. Containing Spills <br /> • Contain the spill using the materials in the spill kit. <br /> • For smaller spills at the fuel islands, use booms, socks, and drain covers. <br /> • For larger spills caused by vehicle accidents, use epoxy plugs and pop-up pools. <br /> ■ Once a spill is contained, set up barricades to prevent vehicles from driving through <br /> it. <br /> 2. Reporting Spills <br /> • If the spill entered a storm drain, call the fire department. <br /> ■ If the spill was caused by a vehicle accident, call the police, collect driver <br /> information, take pictures if possible, and fill out a Property Damage Report. <br /> ■ If the spill is over 5 gallons or entered a storm drain, report it to the POS help desk. <br /> They will send an emergency response team and fill out a Retail Fuel Spill Report. <br /> ■ Send requested documentation and information to the Flying J Environmental <br /> Department. <br /> 3. Cleaning Spills <br /> ■ Clean up the spill using absorbent pads or Sphag Sorb. <br /> • Do not push fuel into the oil-water separator trough. <br /> ■ Place the used materials in yellow bags, put "hazard" labels on them, and put them <br /> in the proper 55-gallon drum. <br /> Unknown Spills <br /> Steps for dealing with spills of unknown substances: <br /> 1. Barricade the area. <br /> 2. Don't touch the spill or breathe the fumes. <br /> 3. Contain the material. Prevent it from entering any storm drains but do not clean it <br /> up. <br /> 4. Report the spill to the POS Help Desk. <br /> 21 <br />
