Protecting
Against Hazardous Spills
FRA
has developed a compact, inexpensive kit to enable people who work
in the woods to take quick, effective action on petroleum-based spills
and avoid environmental damage and costly fines. The #9040-FRA Combo
Vehicle Spill Kit,
available from Breg International, contains mats, "snakes," plugs,
putty, and disposal bags and can provide effective "first aid" for
the kinds of in-woods spills loggers are most likely to encounter.
"Loggers are responsible for taking action to protect soil and water
quality, no matter how small the spill, if a hazardous substance is
involved," notes FRA Chairman Allen Bedell. "For our members, spill
avoidance and responsible clean-up are action areas." For more details
about spill prevention and control, see the forthcoming spring/summer
Forest Operations Review, which devotes a feature article by
Weyerhaeuser's Pete Leech to the topic.
To
order the spill kit, phone Breg at 800/433-1013, and request the #9040-FRA
Combo Vehicle Spill Kit, or click here
to print out a faxable order form (Adobe®Acrobat®Reader,
available at no cost from Adobe, is necessary). The cost is only $38.00
plus shipping.
