The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001

Secondary Containment System

Bunds Or Drip Trays (Regulation 3) 24

“Regulation 3(2) sets out the requirements for the secondary containment system. A secondary containment system is a further container* to catch any oil leaking from the primary container or its ancillary pipework and equipment. This may take the form of a ‘bund’ used for primary containers, including multiple drums or a drum storage area, or a ‘drip tray’ for a mobile bowser or drum or any other containment system for preventing oil which is no longer in the container from escaping from the place where it is stored.”

• the container mentioned in the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations which stipulates the minimum legal standards for storing oil are more commonly called spill pallets.

Secondary containment systems catch leaks or spills from the primary container in use – storing drums and IBC’s in a suitable secondary containment system significantly reduces spill risk and pollution in accordance with UK legislation.

Correct use of secondary containment reduces environmental pollution to land, surface waters and groundwater from the storage, maintenance and handling of drums or IBCs.
