EPA Fact Sheet
Annual training of staff in handling spills may help mitigate company penalties in the event of a spill that damages the environment.
Businesses and individuals should be aware that the courts in Australia are ordering significant penalties for breaches to Environmental Protection Regulations. The EPA, or in Qld, the Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM), can invoke on the spot fines for lack of preventative environmental measures as well as penalties for actual harm.
Businesses can reduce the likelihood of a costly and resource-intensive public prosecution being brought against them by an environmental regulator by implementing safety protocols and training.
