Accountability to Sustainability:
One of my very first days on the job was responding to a horrific train derailment that contaminated my own local lake. I saw ducks caked in oil… it was disgusting. We had booms and pads ready to go, but the train company wanted to wait a day or so for some cheaper, lesser quality product, and sent the booms and pads away. We tried really hard to at least get the used absorbents, so the company I worked for could extract, recover and recycle what we could of the oil, but again the rail company chose a different, poor-quality, less environmentally preferable option. If they had followed our advice, they would have used less product and paid less in disposal. Our goal is to educate people on issues like this, so that everyone (including the ducks) can benefit.
When it comes to handling such emergencies, having reliable chemical spill supplies and appropriate training is crucial for swift and effective containment and cleanup efforts.
-Katrina Patel, KPI / ProEnviro Founder
Our company aims to improve reaction time and efficiency to emergency spill response events. We create programs that teach – clearly, simply, and effectively – how to respond to a spill in an emergency situation. We strongly believe in the importance of increasing the number of prepared personnel for such emergency situations. We empower workers and companies to assist and reduce the impacts to the environment.
Spills cost companies their reputation, downtime and sometimes result in irreparable damage to the environment. While evaluating these costs, and the resources available to assist in reducing impacts to the environment, we at KPI ProEnviro felt it was important to make Basic Spill Response education available to everyone and anyone who could benefit from it.
We also offer technical spill response courses for futher education to managers, safety personnel and front of the line responders.
