2012 Photo of the Week #25 (Flammable Liquids Secondary Containment)

A facility was told they needed secondary containment around their fuel tank.  No one was given any specifics, just that they needed secondary containment.  This was the result.

Items that may be a problem:

  1. Capacity seems a bit shy.
  2. the plug is missing (see circled area)

Without any instructions or an EHS professional on site, you just have to step back and give credit.  The effort was sincere, but the results were a tad lacking.  But hey, at least the secondary containment is grounded!
