Type of Release

ruptured and went down the floor

drain. The drain is attached to a

wastewater system with active

discharge. Your discharge permit

does not cover flammable material.

Questions

The tabletop starts with the scenario and the steps taken by you in response to the spill notification:

• Who will be the main contact?

• Who will notify employees to limit discharge?

• Who will notify your operator?

• Will you need outside help and who will call?

• Will you need to evacuate the room?

After identifying your steps, gain the estimated response time per each party and what they will cover:

• Who will be their main contact?

• What will their role be when they show up?

• What level of response will they conduct?

• What questions do they have?



• Have a copy of your EAP or Contingency Plan

at the meeting for reference

• Assign a note taker to write down questions

and comments on the response program

• Be detailed in your response for the tabletop:

• Will you stop water usage to the tank?

• Will you need to notify your downstream outlet?

• Will you take any preventative measures?

• Will you need additional water storage space beyond

your current tanks? Who will provide them?
