Oil Spill Prevention (SPCC) Awareness

For oil-handling facility staff: know which oil storage the SPCC rule covers, what your facility's SPCC Plan must contain, and how to keep containment, drainage, inspections and transfers from turning into an oil discharge.

This certificate records completion of awareness training based on EPA 40 CFR 112.1 through 112.5, 112.7 and 112.8. It is not an OSHA card or license, and it does not qualify anyone to prepare or certify an SPCC Plan. It does not by itself meet the training requirements of 40 CFR 112.7(f)(1) and (f)(3). The owner or operator of your facility must still train oil-handling personnel, at a minimum, in the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges; discharge procedure protocols; applicable pollution control laws, rules, and regulations; general facility operations; and the contents of the facility SPCC Plan, and must schedule and conduct discharge prevention briefings for oil-handling personnel at least once a year.
