COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS
The Environment Agency receives reports of more than 14 pollution incidents a day in the UK. Thats more than 5000 incidents a year. Since the 1st September 2005 The Oil Storage Regulations have come fully in to effect. You will be deemed to be in breach of the law if you if you fail to take the necessarry steps to ensure compliance.
DO I NEED TO COMPLY?
Yes, if you hold 200ltr or more of oil above ground at an industrial, commercial or institutional site. This includes factories, shops, offices, hotels, schools, colleges, universities, village halls, public sector buildings, hospitals, MOD sites... the list goes on.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
A great place to start is to conduct a survey of your site and identify the at risk areas and develop a comprehensive spill response plan. Upon completion select the appropriate products from our online store to support your plan.
