The Expert Guide to Spill Containment and Control

Many industrial and commercial sites have the potential to damage our natural environment and Arco, a leading UK safety company, has launched its own Expert Guide for Environmental Management to help businesses reduce the risk of causing costly environmental pollution. Following the guidelines and ensuring that fluids are stored safely and the products and processes are in place to manage any potential spills, not only reduces the chance of causing pollution, but also makes good business sense. Minimising waste and pollution risk saves money and businesses that have a ‘green’ image are at a competitive advantage, which is important in today’s economic climate.

The range of products available from Arco include absorbents and spill kits from the Ecospill Elite and Ecospill Sustainable brands, as well as an Arco own brand range of pads, booms, sheets and hazard waste bags to provide a cost-effective and immediate solution to spills. Through ARC Safety Service, Arco can also deliver a range of spill response training courses from a basic level through to a certified advance course and a ‘Train the Trainer’ module. Arco also offers site surveys, management of spill kits and spill response training and can guide businesses to achieve compliance with regulations and above all maintain a safe and environmentally responsible site.

With oil storage regulations now a legal requirement in England and Scotland and companies in Wales and Ireland bound by a duty of care in terms of pollution and the environment, Arco has a range of storage and containment products to ensure that hazardous liquid containers are stored, labelled and maintained correctly and securely. The Expert Guide for Environmental Management offers guidance on the latest oil storage regulations so that customers are fully aware of their legal and moral obligations.

The Arco Expert Guide to Environmental Management is free and available at all Arco Trade Counters around the UK. The Arco Expert Guide to Environmental Management can also be downloaded at www.arco.co.uk/spillcontrol.
