Now THAT'S a leak

The following e-mail was sent to everyone who works at my location (80+ people). It appears verbatim except that I've substituted people's titles for their names.

Everyone

Please take a look at the 2 pictures attached. This is not going to be an acceptable situation going forward. I have to think that anyone with a car that’s leaking this badly has to be aware that there’s a problem with it. If it’s your car, or your car is one of the ones making this mess, you’re going to have to get it repaired or make different arrangements to get here. I understand that this could be a costly repair, and short term (like a few days) if something can be done to contain the drippage, then maybe we can work something out…but it can’t go on. Please take immediate actions before someone else has to do it and feelings end up hurt.

Thanks

(Senior Management Person & Environmental Person's Boss),

(Maintenance Manager) sent photos from the new parking lot. It appears there are some vehicles that are leaking oil in the new employee parking lot. I’m not sure how you have addressed this type of problem in the past, especially since I don’t know which car is leaking.

Do I need to address this in the morning meeting and follow up with an email to managers asking them to remind their employees that we cannot have oil leaks in parking areas per our SWPPP/SPCC. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Want to see what all the fuss is about?

 

 

 

Yep, that's A LOT of oil. I'm pretty sure it's all from the same vehicle based on the patterns of the deposits. Obviously no business wants this in their brand new (or really old) parking lot, but since we're an oil producing facility, it's super strict. The city gets really funny about oil in the storm water system.

 

No one's come forward yet, but this e-mail has been quite the talk of the building.
