Spill response plans
These response plans and guides have been prepared by the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.
Industrial spill response plans
Industry facilities that store, manufacture, transport, recycle or handle dangerous goods, hazardous wastes, or hazardous chemicals should prepare a response (contingency) plan to respond to an accidental release of these substances into the environment. These guidelines help owners and operators of industrial facilities develop emergency response plans for a timely and effective response to environmental emergencies.
