Prevention and Mitigation The facility has been constructed and is maintained within local, state and federal laws or regulations. Prevention of a release is achieved thru inventory reconciliation, annual tank testing, maintenance of facility equipment and employee training. In the event of a release, employees have been instructed to respond quickly so the extent of the release can be minimized. Employees have been instructed to immediately stop the release (i.e. turn off the power, close the valve, etc. ) and use absorbant to contain the release and prevent it ' s spread to critical areas such as storm drains or adjacent properties. Based on the size of the facility and emergency equipment available on site, only small releases can safely be addressed. A large release can only be addressed with assistance from emergency response personnel and/or a clean up contractor. Emergency Equipment Emergency equipment maintained on site is limited to fire extinguishers, absorbent and water hoses. Additional equipment can be brought on site if necessary, as well as emergency clean up personnel. Employee Training Each employee, during initial employment and annually thereafer is instructed in the basics of hazardous materials handling and emergency response. The training program consists of, as a minimum, the following areas: 1. Hazard Communication Standard. 2. Methods for safe handling of hazardous materials. 3. Proper use of safety equipment. 4.
