LUBRICATION STRATEGIES

evidence of a contained spill around the
oil pallet, the contaminated spill material hasn't been removed and is itself an
uncontained, contaminated oil product.

Recommendations
In accordance with most safety
legislation, every oil-storage facility will
generally be required to have and keep
the following information and equipment up to date:
S spill contingency plan and procedures
S spill-control equipment
S fire plan
S emergency-evacuation plan.
If a site's oil-storage building is
indoors or in a closed area, it will
require ventilation as regulated by local
building codes.

The cost of doing business
Disposing of hazardous waste can be
time-consuming and costly. Research
local oil recyclers and hazardous-waste
haulage companies to determine what

they charge for their services. Some
will handle both oil reclamation and
disposal of hazardous waste. Such
organization should be able to work
with your site to set up a value-based
program that adheres to all local regulations. MT
Editor's Note: Recycling and disposing
of old oil is closely associated with
lubrication-consolidation efforts in a
plant. This month's feature on p. 25
addresses that topic with insight from
Des-Case.
