Excal Visual, Inc. training

This new SPCC employee training kit is a 2 video program that focuses on the following subjects: EPA regulations and SPCC plan, Spill Clean Up & Response, Operations & Maintenance, Oil Transfers, Used Oil and Discharge Procedure Protocols. The 1st video is a comprehensive 29-minute program that thoroughly details the regulation for employees. The 2nd video is a 19-minute program that covers the basic regulatory elements, and can be used when time is a factor for the trainer or as an annual refresher. 

This 19½ minute video instructs employees on SPCC Plans, oil pollution regulations, effective oil storage and oil transfer procedures. It also instructs employees on “discharge procedure protocols”: first response measures to take when a discharge is discovered. The program is designed to help regulated facilities comply with the final SPCC rule (40 CFR 112) last amended November 2009 that became fully effective 11/10/11 nationwide.

This employee training kit is designed to help train employees and contractors who work at electric utilities on Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure, "SPCC" (40 CFR 112). This program addresses oil-filled electrical equipment such as transformers and circuit breakers as well as bulk tanks and portable storage containers. It shows employees what is expected of them when working at sub-stations, repair shops or other generation, transmission and distribution operations where oils and fuels are present. Created in cooperation with the Utilities Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG) of the Edison Electric Institute.

Both state and federal regulations require spill prevention training for employees at facilities that have the capacity to store or handle in excess of 1320 gallons of oil or oil products (gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, lubricants, cutting oil, etc.). The federal rule is called the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule (40CFR 112). The California rule is called the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA). Both rules apply and are enforced in California. This 19½ minute video shows employees what they need to know to comply with both rules. It trains on prevention of oil releases at storage facilities and at transfer stations. It also instructs employees on ‘discharge procedure protocols’ – proper methods for initial response to spills or releases. The program includes a shorter 14½ minute video that can be used for the required annual refresher training.

Federal regulations require that employees at facilities that have the capacity to store or handle in excess of 1320 gallons of any oil or oil product (gasoline, heating oil, lubricants, residual fuels, vegetable and animal oils and other “oils”) be trained on effective spill prevention measures. This 16 minute video instructs employees on SPCC Plans, oil pollution regulations, effective oil storage and oil transfer procedures at facilities handling small volumes of oils. It also instructs employees on “discharge procedure protocols”: first response measures to take when a discharge is discovered. The video also addresses site security: measures to take to protect oil handling facilities against vandalism and terrorism. Included with the kit is a SiteCast template for building site-specific SPCC training. This `SOV` version is specifically tailored for facilities that store modest amounts of oil in smaller containers.
