Pollution Prevention

The University of Bristol has compiled a Pollution Spill/ Emergency Response plan in the event of a spillage of oil or other substance that may damage the environment. This plan also forms part of the University’s Crisis Management Response. https://www.bris.ac.uk/environment/safe/oil_pollution_response.html

This document does not cover laboratory spills and information on how to deal with these can be found on the Health and Safety Office website.

More information on Pollution Prevention is available for download from the Environment Agency and from contacting Sustainability at sustainability-estates@bristol.ac.uk
