VESERIS <br />Contingency Plan <br />Section 5 - Effective Date Supersedes Page <br />Pre-Emergency Planning 9/20/2021 New 5-4 <br />III. CHEMICAL SPILLS <br />Veseris is committed to conducting its operations so as to minimize the risk to <br />the health and safety of the employees, contractors, customers, the public, and <br />environment. All spills must be reported internally. There may be Federal, <br />state, and local reporting requirements that must also be followed. <br />All contractors onsite that become aware of a spill shall immediately report the <br />spill to the branch operations manager or supervisor and leave the area. <br />Appropriately trained Veseris branch personnel are the only persons authorized <br />to clean-up spills. <br />This facility is equipped, at a minimum, to contain and clean-up <br />incidental releases for many types of hazardous materials. <br />Of greatest concern is a spill of a large amount of liquid hazardous material. <br />Such spills are most likely to occur at a tank farm where bulk tanks and tank <br />trucks are located. <br />Large spills are less likely to occur in container storage areas or the repack <br />areas. However, the spill of even one container in a place, such as an open <br />stormwater drain, can be as disastrous as a large spill. <br />Regardless of the size of the spill, the first goal during an emergency <br />response to the spill is to confine the spill on-site. No spilled material or <br />residue of a spilled material should be allowed to migrate beyond our <br />property boundaries. <br />DO NOT WASH DOWN ANY SPILL. <br />CONTACT THE REGIONAL OR CORPORATE <br />OPERATIONS STAFF FOR INSTRUCTIONS. <br />ALL SPILL RESIDUES MUST BE HANDLED AS IF THEY HAVE THE <br />POTENTIAL TO BECOME A HAZARDOUS WASTE.
