Your at-a-glance resource for a quick response in the event of a critical spill.
Reams of regulations are streamlined on the web in this clear-language guide on how to quickly and accurately respond to a spill.
The Spill Reporting Procedures Guide, the essential, timesaving reference that compliance officers have relied on since 1984 to deal quickly and accurately with accidental releases of chemicals into the environment, is now available on the web.
In addition to the indispensable "first response" information that is available in the print version, Spill Reporting Procedures Guide, on the Web adds versatility and multi-functionality to this dependable resource. Multiple users within your organization will have simultaneous access to vital information—which means a more prompt and efficient response to a critical spill. You get internet links that provide access to state and federal agencies, and internal links that allow you to quickly cross-reference to related topics within the GUIDE. The new web version also streamlines reams of regulations so that you get timely, at-a-glance guidance on which agencies must be notified, how they should be contacted, and how quickly they need to be alerted.
The online version of the Spill Reporting Procedures Guide, 2010 Edition prepares facility managers, engineers, and environmental compliance officers with a host of new material and features to deal rapidly and effectively with releases in air, land, and water. Included are 13 updated forms and four new forms for reporting spill incidents to state and federal authorities, all of which can be easily viewed and printed from online. Each form is conveniently listed in the Table of Contents for each jurisdiction. A simple click of the mouse will allow users to access these forms wherever they are referenced in the reporting requirements.
