Containment stops a spill from spreading, but with flammable liquids you also have to stop the spark, which is why grounding and bonding drums during transfer is just as critical to a compliant operation. Even a small chemical spill can cause costly downtime, environmental damage, and regulatory fines. Spill containment systems are your first line of defense — and an essential part of any safe, compliant workspace.
1. Why Spill Containment Matters
EPA and OSHA regulations require secondary containment for hazardous materials. Containment is only half the picture — the 90-day accumulation rules for large quantity generators dictate how long that waste can legally sit in your storage area. Portable spill sumps and pallets prevent leaks from contaminating soil or water supplies.
