UWSP Safety Training

4. Who Must Participate in Training?
Any UW-Stevens Point employees responsible for operation, maintenance, receipt and storage of equipment or processes and their related oils in any kind or any form, including:
Petroleum based oils, greases, fuels
Vegetable/seed oils, animal fats
Synthetic oils, mineral oils
Other greases & oils

5. Employee Responsibilities
Oil-handling employees at UW-Stevens Point will each be responsible for operating and maintaining the oil storage containers on campus. In relation to the SPCC regulation, these responsibilities will include the following:
Attending annual SPCC training (all oil-handling employees);
Executing routine monthly and annual inspections on the respective oil storage containers as assigned by the Facilities coordinator(s);
Notifying the Environmental, Health & Safety Officer of any observed oil spills in order to start the emergency spill response procedure; and
Placing initial spill countermeasure materials (from a campus spill kit(s)).

6. UWSP SPCC Plan – What is It?
5-year review cycle by DNR updated 2014
Fully supported by UWSA and UW-Stevens Point Administration & Engineering
Describes sources of spill potential – 50,000 gallons on campus, 100 Locations
Maintenance, Power Plant, across campus
Types: AST, fuel, used vegetable oil, generators, storage, & disposal

7. SPCC Plan Contents Describes: Facility & Operations Site Maps
Oil sources – tanks & equipment
Site Drainage
Spill Prevention Measures
Discharge Reaction Measures

8. SPCC Plan – Key Purposes
Prevention: Eliminate, reduce and minimize the loss of oil (diesel/fuel oil, used vegetable oil, lubricating oils, or hydraulic oils) to “navigable waters”
Response: Clean Up - Not all spills are reportable, but all spills must be cleaned up
Sustainability: Avoid the loss of resources, fines, injuries to personnel, reputation, or environmental damage; only rain water may go into a storm sewer.

9. Preventing Spills
Inspections: as-used, monthly, quarterly, and periodic integrity testing
Safe & sound work practices
Filling storage containers no more than 90% full (allow for liquid expansion)
Keep spill containment equipment fully stocked and immediately available!
If any spill kit material is used, notify your supervisor to have kit restocked.

10. What Is An Oil “Spill”?
Any amount of oil that produces a sheen on water and/or threatens navigable water, including drainage ditches
1 gallon or more of flammable liquid onto unpaved ground
5 gallons or more of combustible liquid onto unpaved ground
All spills must be cleaned up – some have to be reported to WI Emergency Management or EPA

11. Source Examples – M/M, Stien Bldg
20,000 gallon back up tank Power Plant
Diesel generators, power sources, storage areas, inside buildings
Transformers next to buildings
WPS Transformers (not part of our SPCC)
Remember: Inside floor and trench drains lead to sanitary sewer.

12. Where Does A Spill Go?
All city storm drains eventually empty into the Wisconsin River. They may go to Moses Creek which runs under campus. Other environments, such as Schmeekle Reserve, could be contaminated. Spills may need to be reported to the city or DNR, which we want to avoid.

13. Responding To A Spill
Absorbent booms, socks & pads to collect spilled material & keep it from getting to unpaved ground or to drains. Act carefully and quickly.
Call Protective Services, and
Emergency Spill Coordinator, EHS ASAP to report the spill
Alternate Emergency Contact, Risk Management,
After containment, absorbents must be disposed as hazardous waste.

14. Auto Shop Oil Containment
M&M Auto Shop
double-walled used oil tank

15. Spill Response Containers
Different sizes -depending on location
Different absorbent materials
Inspection Tag on each container: TBD

16. Spill Response Containers
Each container will be labeled as to the location of where they will be kept.

17. Spill Kit Contents
Depending upon the location, amount of oil spill potential the types and amounts of spill materials can vary.
Materials could include:
Oil absorb
Absorbent Socks
Absorbent Pillows (Large or Small)
Absorbent Blankets

18. Summary Emergency Planning is Required
