What should you do when oil spills?
You must take precautions to safeguard yourself during a workplace accident, a local oil spill, or a heating oil tank leak in your home. Try to stop the leak using absorbent materials, such as sand or cat litter, if you are qualified, and it is safe. If not, you need to maintain a safe distance and do the following actions:
- Avoid the area if you smell or see oil.
- If you touch the oil, clean it off with warm, soapy water.
- Take off any clothing with oil stains.
- Notify local authorities and surrounding people of the spill.
- Call 111 if you suffer any acute symptoms.
- Contact 999 or attend A&E if you have any severe symptoms.
Preventing an oil spill
A spill is avoidable with vigilance and routine maintenance as a homeowner or employer. You have greater individual responsibility as a homeowner than as a person in charge of a company. Depending on how oil affects your everyday life, you should take the following actions:
Domestic oil tanks
- Keep the tank away from your home's water lines, drains, wells, streams, and local ponds
- Add additional bunding or containment for the tank.
- Switch to a newer model that complies with British Standards for your tank.
- Make sure your tank is properly labelled with "Oil Care" labels and includes information about its capacity and make.
- Check your tank once a week for leaks, damage, rust, and corrosion.
- Every year, have a certified oil expert inspect and assess your tank
- Keep an eye out for any leaks that could be present, such as a rapid drop in your oil level.
- Avoid filling your tank more than necessary.
- Ensure site gauge valves are closed, or install British Standard valves with an automatic shutoff.
- Watch any oil delivery and make sure your tank complies with all health and safety regulations.
- Provide on-site access to an oil spill kit, absorbent materials, drain blocks, and leak-sealing putty.
Workplace oil storage
- Be certain that your team is aware of the most recent health and safety regulations, equipment handling, storage, transportation, and emergency response protocols.
- Regularly check your machines and equipment
- Have PPE and spill kits available.
- Provide filter bags, mesh baskets, and sheets to cushion the oil tanks or other equipment.
- Verify that there are no leaking oil tanks in any oil-transporting vehicles.
- Every year, do an oil spill risk assessment.
- Assess your workplace's spill history to determine the places that pose the most danger.
- Ask your team frequently for suggestions on how you can make things better for everyone.

Who is liable for an oil spill?
Whether it is a personal oil tank or a workplace incident, the party at fault for improper maintenance or poor health and safety is liable for the spillage.
If you own a tank that leaks, you are responsible for covering the costs of any repairs and oil cleaning. The local council, water supplier, and oil clean-up experts must all be notified as per the law. If your heating tank is protected by insurance, you need to let them know about the incident.
If the leak occurred at work, the employer could be held accountable. A spill at work may have been caused by poor health and safety measures, mismanaged vehicles, manufacturing equipment, or storage tanks. Depending on the situation and potential negligence, the council might penalize you, and any affected neighbours may bring a lawsuit against you.
