On Highway Spill Emergencies 
 

Shippers and transporters who are not adequately prepared to handle spill emergencies quickly and comply with all reporting requirements can end up with major expenses for cleanup and disposal services, liability issues and steep penalties for failing to file incident reports on time. A transportation accident or emergency release requiring environmental cleanup requires fast action to contain the spill generator's costs and limit potential liability.

Now a new white paper written by Tom Moses, president of Spill Center, provides a comprehensive look at the regulatory maze surrounding environmental spills and how to prepare your company to handle such events. It is available for download at no charge.

The paper, Spill Preparedness in Transportation: Containing Costs and Limiting Liability After Environmental Releases, discusses contingency planning for spills, driver training with respect to spill containment, environmental liability of the spill generator, incident reporting requirements and advice on ways to stay out of trouble with the authorities. Also included are real-life examples of expensive snafus that could have been avoided with proper spill preparedness.

Tom Moses is an environmental attorney and former U.S. EPA toxicologist who founded Spill Center over 20 years ago to help companies at risk from accidental spills of hazmat, diesel fuel and other unregulated materials. Since its founding, Spill Center has become a leading environmental claims management agency, which provides support to spill generators 24/7 anywhere in North America.

A recognized authority on environmental spills and regulatory issues, Tom holds a certificate in Hazardous Materials Control and Emergency Response from Georgia Institute of Technology and is a member of the American Chemical Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Environmental Law Institute.
