Inadequate secondary containment poses significant risks, including environmental contamination, health hazards, and regulatory violations. Without proper containment measures in place, leaks or spills from storage tanks, drums, or other containers can lead to the release of hazardous materials into the environment.
Hazardous materials releasing into the environment can contaminate soil, water sources, and air. This poses risk to human health and ecosystems. Additionally, inadequate secondary containment can result in costly cleanup efforts, fines, penalties, and legal liabilities.
