Pollution prevention measures that you should adopt include:

• Checking whether there is any surface or ground water where you are working and obtaining and following expert advice on what can and cannot be done.
• Keeping activities, oil, chemicals, vehicles, plant and equipment away from surface waters.
• Using, abstracting or pollution prevention measures when disposing of water or wastewater to remain compliant with the authorities.
• Designing and setting-up appropriate drainage systems.
• Installing water efficient devices such as low-flush toilets and low-flow taps and showers.
• Identify activities that will use or discharge water or that may affect water quality through the SafetyHub assessment process.
• Seek to change or control activities to reduce the need to use or discharge water and/or to prevent the effect on water quality.
• Consult with the relevant environmental regulator where necessary to obtain consents and agree water use and pollution prevention measures.
• Control activities and implement water use and pollution prevention measures, and monitor their effectiveness, particularly during water restrictions. 

What Can Go Wrong?

• Establish a prioritised list of hazards. (If complex break into before / during / after the activity) with the most significant first.
• Water and waste water if not managed correctly can have a number of environmental impacts as a result of its use and disposal.
• Excessive unmonitored potable water use is both costly and wastes a resource which is energy intensive in its production.
• Waste water from washing operations, catering trucks or vehicle washing can result in the pollution to water courses if not managed correctly.
• Waste waters may require consent for its disposal which if not obtained prior to an activity commencing can result in prosecution.
