Containment News May 2015: ‘Pollution Guardians’

‘Pollution Guardians’ I’ve recently returned from a short break to Turin and although I’ve visited Italy on numerous occasions the endemic disregard for rules never fails to astound me.   It made me think about what happens when people either ignore the law or view the rules with the sole purpose of finding loopholes rather than consider the…

Containment News April 2015: ‘Impact of Pollution’

‘Impact of Pollution’  Cuts have consequences: the ridiculous task of being told to do more with less is something which the Environment Agencies share with the UK’s Emergency Services as all have faced very hefty budget cuts.  Successive governments have adopted the policy of looking at statistical improvements in crime rates and  pollution levels as a clear…

Containment News March 2015: ‘Sewage Spill’

‘Sewage Spill’ United Utilities were recently fined £750,000 for a sewage spill which polluted a Cumbrian estuary, of course this figure is just the tip of the fatberg and will not include investigation and clean-up costs.  A bill a fraction of that magnitude would devastate most small and medium sized businesses and yet there is still a blinkered ignorance amongst many companies…

Containment News February 2015: ‘Water Pollution’

‘Water Pollution’ Researching stories for Containment News makes one realise that there is a two tier reporting system when it comes to environmental pollution. The vast majority of spill incidents are only covered by the local press, unless it’s on the scale of BP’s Deepwater Horizon or Buncefield they seldom make it to the national media.  On the rare occasion that stories like the 60,000 fish killed…

Containment News January 2015: ‘Beaches Will Be Closed’

‘Beaches will be Closed!’  The clues are all there, and it isn’t going to take Hercule Poirot to piece together the evidence that 2015 is  going to be a watershed year for the UK water industry.  The much stricter new Bathing Water Directive comes  into full-force this year, meaning that we face the very real possibility that some of…

The Environment Agency (EA) working in partnership with the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) have produced two reports aimed at helping SME’s reduce the frequency and the impact of spills on the environment.   – The first report “Best Practice in Spill Prevention in the Waste Management Industry” looks at the risks posed by environmentally harmful substances and fires on waste sites and takes advice and…

March

It doesn’t matter how unblemished your previous incident record has been, or how well trained your staff are in site safety, it’s impossible to prevent the actions of deliberate mindless vandals. The severity of environmental damage isn’t defined by the cause but by the actual pollutant released. Whether that is triggered by negligent worker, freak accident or deliberate sabotage…
