Arriving at a worksite on a rainy morning, the truck’s headlights pick up the unmistakable, multicolor hues of an oil sheen. Well-trained employees will immediately recognize that this isn’t going to be a routine day. They’ll also know that finding the source of the sheen and fixing it will be a top priority - after the storm drain is protected.
Frontline workers are usually the first to discover oil leaks, drips and spills. Whether it's discovered upon arrival, found during a routine inspection or is the result of an operational error; even small oil leaks and spills can quickly escalate from being a minor nuisance to a large-scale event if they enter storm drains.
