Oil and Chemical Storage
Risk Assessments (Oil and Chemical Storage)

Prior to the delivery and the storage of oil and chemicals on-site a competent person must undertake a risk assessment using the BBC risk assessment process. A record of the risk assessment must be held on site and mitigation measures implemented as identified before the delivery and storage of oil takes place.
 
The following factors must be considered:
  • The location of the storage facility and its proximity to rivers and other controlled waters including surface water drains.
  • The volume of the oil stored.
  • The adequacy of bunding and other pollution control measures.
  • The arrangements for delivery of oil and chemicals.
  • The security of the area containing the storage facility and arrangements outside of normal working hours.
