FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jan. 26, 2015
DEP LAUNCHES MULTILINGUAL COMPLIANCE TRAINING VIDEO FOR STORAGE TANK OPERATORS
~The videos are now
available in English and Spanish~
TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of
Waste Management and Broward County's Environmental Protection Department are proud to
launch informative videos that will help storage tank facility operators
prepare for an inspection. The video is currently available in English and
Spanish. The video will also become available in Hindi and
Creole in March.
Storage tank facility inspections are essential for the
department to ensure gas station owners and operators maintain
compliance with DEP standards. Preparing for a storage tank inspection is
crucial to make sure that the inspection is carried out efficiently
and
completely. In addition to protecting Florida’s environment, well-managed
storage tank systems will save gas station owners and operators time and
money in upkeep costs.
"Part of our mission is to educate our regulated industries
on how to be good stewards of Florida's environment," said Division of
Waste Management Director Jorge Caspary. "The launch of these multilingual
videos will increase our outreach efforts and lead to a better understanding of
the department's expectations during inspections."
The videos will help gas station owners and
operators understand the components of an inspection and how to assist
inspectors in the process. The launch of the videos in English, Spanish, Hindi
and Creole helps the department communicate standards effectively with owners
whose first language is not English.
