Understand SPCC requirements for general industry, from spill prevention and oil transfers to cleanup, maintenance, and discharge response.
This new SPCC employee training program focuses on the following subjects: EPA regulations, SPCC plan, Spill Clean Up and Response, Operations and Maintenance, Oil Transfers, Used Oil and Discharge Procedure Protocols.This trainingis a comprehensive 29-minute program that thoroughly details the regulations for employees.
SPCC training is required for oil-handling personnel at facilities covered by EPA's SPCC rule, including workers who operate or maintain oil equipment, transfer oil or respond to spills. Covered facilities generally store more than 1,320 gallons of oil aboveground or 42,000 gallons underground and could discharge oil to navigable waters.
EPA's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure rule is in 40 CFR Part 112, issued under the Clean Water Act. Training requirements for oil-handling personnel appear in 40 CFR 112.7(f), which also calls for discharge prevention briefings. The rule applies to many manufacturing and general industry sites that store oil.
SPCC rules at 40 CFR 112.7(f) require discharge prevention briefings for oil-handling personnel at least once a year. Briefings cover past discharges or failures, malfunctioning components and recently developed precautions. Facilities should also train new oil handlers on equipment, procedures and the SPCC plan before they handle oil.
An SPCC plan describes how a facility prevents, contains and responds to oil spills. It covers storage containers and capacities, secondary containment, inspections and testing, oil transfer procedures, security, training and discharge response steps. Most SPCC plans must be certified by a Professional Engineer, though some qualified facilities may self-certify.
If oil spills at your facility, stop the source if it is safe, contain the spill with absorbents or booms, and keep oil out of floor drains and waterways. Notify your supervisor and follow the SPCC plan. Oil discharges that reach navigable waters must be reported to the National Response Center.
