Welcome to Spill Center Update, the information service focusing on hazmat transportation safety, risk avoidance and cost containment.
Control Costs & Avoid Fines After Spills
 
Spills of diesel fuel, hazmat and other regulated materials are a lot easier to clean up and report with the resources of Spill Center® on your team. I founded the company nearly 20 years ago to help transporters and shippers control costs and limit liability arising from spills. Over the years, we have grown into a leading nationwide hazmat support and environmental claims management company, offering a comprehensive program for our subscribers.

Our expertise includes environmental/safety regulatory compliance, emergency spill response management, and claims resolution, negotiation and settlement. Our trained compliance associates are available 24/7 to provide assistance when you need it. After a spill, they notify emergency responders and your company contacts, file all required incident reports to keep you in compliance and avoid late penalties, and provide you with a list of qualified cleanup contractors in the area of the spill that you can select from.

Here are some of the ways Spill Center we can help you control costs and limit your liability after spills requiring emergency clean up:
  • Customized Spill Contingency Plan is tailored to your company's needs with detailed spill-handling and reporting instructions to keep you well prepared to properly handle accidental spills, even at night, on weekends and on holidays - anywhere in North America. 
  • Trained Compliance Associates staff a Spill Hotline 24/7 to activate you contingency plan in the event of a spill and take steps to initiate site cleanup and remediation. Our staff includes legal, technical and environmental specialists.         
  • Find Responders Sooner in our Cleanup Contractor database with information on more than 3,000 pre-qualified environmental contractors throughout North America. You can find the contactor you want, where and when you want. Contractor capabilities, equipment inventories and insurance coverages are also on file.
Never Miss a Reporting Deadline
 
  • Avoid Fines and Penalties for failure to make required incident reports within the mandatory reporting window. Spill Center maintains a database of current local, state and federal reporting requirements for jurisdictions throughout North America to determine which reports must be completed following spills and when. That means no more wading through screen after screen of regulations on government websites searching for information. Knowing when to report, what to report, and whom to report it to has never been easier. 
  • Save Time and Money because your fleet, safety and operations personnel can access and use the system at any time from any location. Call-lists, contractors, reporting requirements, product information, forms and instructions - even electronic messaging - are available in one secure place for instant access. 
  • Avoid problems by using Spill Center. Our program is designed to enable subscribers to maintain a sound system of internal controls to manage hazmat materials and spill response processes to safeguard shareholders' investment and company assets. Thorough documentation of all reporting and remediation activities performed on behalf of subscribers is maintained to limit environmental liability and establish legal defense against any third-party claims that may arise from spills. 
  • Proprietary Automated Systems developed by Spill Center track incidents, produce standard and customized reports, and generate root cause analysis data for subscribers. The information helps identify conditions and trends to address to improve safety.
  • Invoice Auditing Service is available for expert review of charges from cleanup contractors, emergency responders and other service providers to ensure fair pricing vs. accepted standards and accuracy. Any inflated charges are negotiated down.
