On Highway Spill Emergencies in Kenya

Nairobi, Kenya – A transportation accident or emergency release requiring environmental cleanup requires fast action to contain the spill generator’s costs and limit potential liability. Shippers and transporters who are not adequately prepared to handle spill emergencies quickly and comply with all reporting requirements can end up with major expenses for cleanup and disposal services, liability issues and penalties for failing to file the proper incident reports on time.

A new white paper from Spill Center, a leading international environmental claims management resource, provides a comprehensive look at the regulatory requirements surrounding environmental spills and ways that transporters can prepare to handle such events. Spill Preparedness in Transportation: Containing Costs and Limiting Liability After Environmental Releases in Kenya is available for download at no charge.

Written by Thomas Moses, an environmental legal specialist, toxicologist and president of

Spill Center, the paper discusses contingency planning for spills, driver training with respect to spill containment, environmental liability of the spill generator, incident reporting requirements and advice on staying out of trouble with the authorities. Also included are real-life examples of expensive problems that could have been avoided with proper spill preparedness.
