Oil Spill Prevention and Preparedness Regulations

Oil Spill Prevention and Preparedness Regulations are guidelines designed to minimize the risk of oil spills and to ensure readiness in case one occurs. These regulations require companies that handle oil to develop spill prevention plans, conduct regular inspections, and train employees on response actions. They also mandate the installation of safety equipment and backup systems to contain potential spills. In essence, these regulations aim to protect the environment and public health by ensuring that organizations are prepared and equipped to prevent and respond to oil spills effectively.
