Comprehensive yet detailed enough, Spill Prevention & Control: Insuring A Safer World explores the equipment for and methods of prevention, control and countermeasures. It gives a historical background of the SPCC rule, 40 CFR 12, identifies the facilities subject to it, defines what the EPA considers to be oil and examines how and where oil can pollute ecosystems and damage the environment.

Spill Prevention & Control: Insuring A Safer World outlines the details of oil safety, explaining the need to identify spill locations, potential oil-flow direction and environmental impact. It offers maintenance-inspection tips and lays out the emergency response process. It also lists containment equipment and enumerates safe work practices, including those for raising awareness and performing oil transfers.

As the program stresses, there is no such thing as a "harmless spill." Every facility - onshore and offshore - must take the necessary precautions, and Spill Prevention & Control: Insuring A Safer World can help with this task.
