SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure)

SPCC, or Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure, is a set of regulations aimed at preventing oil spills from reaching U.S. waters. It requires facilities that store significant amounts of oil to develop plans outlining how they will prevent spills, how to control them if they occur, and steps to clean them up. These plans include proper storage practices, regular inspections, and employee training. The goal is to minimize environmental damage and protect water resources from contamination due to oil leaks or spills. Compliance with SPCC regulations helps ensure safer handling of hazardous materials.
