a. Deliver ies
Special care should be taken during deliveries, particularly when hazardous materials are involved. Deliveries should be supervised at all times, tanks and containers should be labelled with the nature and volume of their contents, and the levels should be checked before delivery to prevent overfilling.
b. Delivery areas
Where possible, loading and unloading areas should be roofed and drained to the foul sewer. If not, they should be clearly marked and isolated from the surface water drainage system, either by catch-pits or sumps with isolating valves. Cut-off valves in the drainage system and raised kerb surrounds may be needed. Delivery pipes should be fitted with automatic cut-off valves to prevent overfilling. You are recommended to consult with the Agency.
c. Security
Vandalism and theft are frequent causes of pollution. Lockable valves should be fitted on all storage tanks, fences should be secure, and doors and gates kept locked. Where possible, materials should be stored under cover and potential pollutants should be transferred into safe storage without delay.
