Strength and Integrity

• Is the container of sufficient strength and integrity to ensure that it is unlikely to burst or leak in its ordinary use?

  Yes

  No

• Recommendation

Secondary containment

• Is the Secondary Containment capacity >= 110% of the largest Primary Container volume?

  Yes

  No

• Recommendation

• The 110% rule is met

• Is there more than 1 primary container?

  Yes

  No

• Is the Secondary Containment capacity >= 25% of the total Container volume?

  Yes

  No

• Recommendation

• The 25% rule is met

• The 25% total containment rule does not apply in this case

• Is the storage so positioned or other steps taken so as to minimise any risk of damage by impact so far as is reasonably practicable?

  Yes

  No

• Recommendation

• Are the base and walls impermeable to liquid and oil?

  Yes

  No

• Recommendation

• Are the base and walls penetrated by any valve, pipe or other opening which is used for draining the system?

  Yes

  No

• Recommendation

• If any fill pipe or draw off pipe penetrates the base or any of its walls, is the junction of the pipe with the base or walls adequately sealed to prevent oil escaping from the system

  Yes

  No
