A white paper released by Spill Center, which provides spill-support and environmental claims management, presents a “comprehensive look at the regulatory maze surrounding environmental spills and ways that carriers can prepare to handle such events.” The paper, Spill Preparedness in Transportation: Containing Costs and Limiting Liability After Environmental Releases,is available for download at no charge.
Written by Tom Moses, president of Spill Center, the paper “discusses contingency planning for spills, driver training with respect to spill containment, environmental liability of the spill generator, incident reporting requirements and advice on staying out of trouble with the authorities.”
Also included are real-life examples of expensive snafus that could have been avoided with proper spill preparedness, Spill Center noted.
