A. If a dealership regularly handles hazardous materials, these should be kept separate from the rest of the facility and checked regularly for safety lapses.
B. To deal with unexpected events or emergency situations, retailers should have spill kits on site and train their employees in the proper use of the items in these kits.
C. Cleaning up the facility grounds should be performed on a daily basis. Retailers should also consider having a recycling program in place to help recover used containers in their communities.
D. Reaching out to the community is also a good idea. Sponsoring local events or activities should be considered, along with holding community meetings at the facility.
