When your crew starts to push triple digits and the job site spans acres, having a strategic spill containment plan is extra important. There are more hazards and a larger amount of chemicals to handle. Essentially, all the variables can be cause for concern.

Thankfully, with the right strategy and high-quality spill containment berms, you can ensure the environment and every member of your crew stays safe. Here are a few tips to help your crew navigate spill containment.

Choose a Spill Berm and Other Equipment That Holds Up to Tough Environments

With so much going on during a big job, your spill berms and other equipment should be able to stand up to the ever-changing environment.

Everything that contains liquids or chemicals should be well-maintained and durable. Barrels should be inspected often. Your water bladder tank should be set up with a ground pad to ensure debris doesn’t cause an unexpected leak. Hoses and nozzles should be closed tight.

Plus, your spill containment berms should be up for the challenge. 30-ounce chemical-resistant fabric and strong aluminum stays are a minimum for berms on an extra busy job site.

Coordinate Spill Containment Plans with Team Leaders

When your crew only has ten members, it’s easy to have a team meeting and relay important spill containment information to everyone on the team. With 100, it’s a little more complicated.

That’s why delegation is so important.

Design a hierarchy of team leaders and safety delegates who can relay the overall plan to specific groups around your job site. That way, instead of tracking down hundreds of team members to update them on new spill policies, you can tell a handful of people you trust, who, in turn, share that news with the teams they oversee.

Make Documentation Available to Everyone

Documentation is important when it comes to spill containment. From safety data sheets and leak procedures to manuals for spill berms, it’s crucial that everyone on your team has quick and easy access to the information they need.

Keep physical copies in every trailer on the site. For extra accessibility, you can keep copies of those same forms in every work truck. Or you could even design digital copies your team can access from anywhere on their smartphone.

That way, if something happens, your team can adhere to your protocol while documenting the situation and responding efficiently.

Keep Quick-Setup Leak Containment Solutions on Hand

On big job sites with lots of people, it’s extra important that everyone can quickly respond to leaks with spill kits or absorbents. Instead of trying to get in contact with a supervisor in another part of the job site, they have the tools they need to stop a leak from spreading right away.

Store drip pouches, spill kits, and universal absorbents in convenient and easily accessible spots around the job site. No matter how spread out the job is, keep them in strategic locations so everyone can grab the supplies they need to spring into action. That way, when any member of your team spots a chemical leak, they can stop it in its tracks.

Mark Clearly Defined Work and Driving Paths

With so many people and vehicles moving around on a large job site, you need to create well-marked paths. If team members are trying to tiptoe around chemical containers or vehicles are driving too close to water tanks, the chances of a spill go way up.

Instead, create wide walkways and driving lanes throughout your job site. Think of them as mini roadways. Then, keep chemicals and liquids stored out of the way and safe from accidental damage.

Organizing a five-star spill containment strategy can be that simple, even on extra-large jobs.
