Standard filling instructions are in sight of every filling station for the fuel operators. They dont over fill the truck. And every truck is equiped with special instruments that diagnose and prevent spills as well as highly trained drivers.
Yes, a chemical spill would be considered a man-made disaster because it is a result of human activity rather than a natural occurrence. It can have detrimental effects on the environment, human health, and surrounding communities. Proper prevention measures and response protocols are necessary to mitigate the impact of such incidents.
After the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Exxon should have paid for all the cleanup and also provided preventative measures!
no
Spill prevention control (and containment), including countermeasure plans, should be in place from the very start. For instance, a 'bund' is a low, raised mound or wall surrounding storage tanks. It is designed to capture (contain) any spillage (oil, petrol, toxic liquid chemicals, etc.) from escaping outside the immediate area of the bund. Thus allowing time to use countermeasures to clean up the spillage safely.
A bulk plant for fertilizer or petrochemical typically involves receiving bulk shipments of materials, storing them in tanks or silos, blending and mixing as necessary, and then distributing the finished product to customers via trucks or railcars. The process flow diagram would show the different stages of receiving, storing, processing, and shipping these materials. Safety measures, such as containment systems, spill prevention, and emergency response plans, would also be included in the diagram.
The latest Exxon spill took place in Nigeria in 2010. (Exxon-Mobil).The Exxon-Valdez spill occurred off the shores of Alaskain 1989.
After the Exxon Valdez disaster all tankers are required to have double hulls and backup systems.
