Emergency Spill Response in Hervey Bay, FAQs
What should I do first in a spill?
Make people safe and stop the source if it is safe to do so, then stop it reaching a drain, because once it is in stormwater the clean-up and the penalties multiply. Call a response contractor and notify the EPA if it is reportable in your state.
How quickly can a crew get to site?
Metropolitan response is usually within a couple of hours, and longer regionally. If your site handles bulk fuel or chemicals it is worth having a contractor on a standing arrangement rather than looking for one mid-incident.
