The Importance of Secondary Containment
Secondary containment is a critical safety measure designed to prevent hazardous spills and leaks when primary containment—such as tanks, pipes, or drums—fails. Essential for regulatory compliance with EPA and OSHA standards, it protects workers, the environment, and operations from costly contamination risks. Common solutions include containment pallets, spill trays, barriers, and berms, tailored to the specific chemicals and environments they safeguard. Implementing the right spill containment system ensures compliance, safety, and operational efficiency, making it an indispensable component of responsible hazardous material management.
