Secondary Containment – A summary of good practice in relation to Ciria 736 (free webinar)

Major incidents over the years have highlighted deficiencies in the way inventory is stored at many sites and the harm such incidents can cause to the environment, people and property, not to mention the financial and reputational impacts to operators of cleaning up pollution incidents, fines and legal costs.

The Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations (COMAH), the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) and the guidance on Appropriate Measures for the Biological Treatment of Waste in England Regulations require sites to ensure that adequate inspection and maintenance procedures are in place, along with a testing regime, and that any defects are managed appropriately.

This webinar will provide a brief background to the CIRIA C736 guidance on Containment Systems for the Prevention of Pollution, and will discuss the need for proper containment design and the often ‘forgotten’ importance of on-going maintenance and inspection of existing containment systems.
