Yes, secondary containment systems are often required by law or regulation, especially in industries where hazardous materials are stored or transported. Regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set guidelines for the use of secondary containment systems to prevent environmental contamination and ensure workplace safety.
These regulations typically specify the types of materials to be used, design requirements, and maintenance procedures for secondary containment systems. Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid fines, penalties, and potential environmental damage resulting from leaks or spills.
