T0027 Toolbox Talk Environmental Issues

Hi All,

This months toolbox Talk Topic is the impact that we have on our environment via Fuel and Oil in the workplace.

Poor storage, lack of care during refuelling, vandalism and poorly maintained plant can result in a spillage of fuel or oil. Which causes hard to our environment.

To avoid environmental harm: even a small spillage of oil or fuel can
cause damage to the environment and harm plants, animals, fish,
and humans

To avoid prosecution: a spillage can result in a prosecution, a fine,
and damage a company’s reputation

To reduce costs: spillages are likely to lead to be clean up costs,
which can be significant, often several times greater than the fine.

If you are unsure of how to deal with a spillage always get assistance from trained individuals.
