Pollution Incident Response Plans
Your first line of defence is having a solid understanding of how to react in the event of a spill. GreenSpark provides comprehensive pollution incident response plans, designed to equip you and your staff with the knowledge and confidence to act promptly and effectively in the event of an incident.
Pollution incident response plans are coordinated processes of responding to an incident, containing the immediate risk to public health and the environment and resolving the issue. Documenting what happened is crucial in ensuring your team can return to normal operation, whilst keeping safe and compliant.
