SPCC Compliance

SPCC Inspection Software That Actually Works in the Field

EHSTracks digitizes your Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure program — from daily visual inspections to annual comprehensive reviews. GPS-verified inspections, automated corrective actions, and audit-ready documentation.

Complete SPCC Management in One Platform

Standardized SPCC Inspection Workflows

Configurable inspection templates for daily visual inspections, monthly facility inspections, and annual SPCC reviews — each scoped to the inspection requirements that apply at that frequency. Templates cover all required inspection points: aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), drums, totes, intermediate bulk containers, secondary containment structures, diking, spill response equipment, and storm drains.

Secondary Containment Sufficiency Tracking

Verify that secondary containment structures meet volume requirements for every storage tank and drum. Document condition issues — cracked containment walls, missing drain plugs, degraded dike integrity — with photo evidence that supports corrective action workflows.

Oil Container Inventory & Volume Tracking

Maintain a real-time inventory of all oil-filled containers at your facility. Track current volumes, capacity, and inspection status. Automatically flag containers that are overfilled, overdue for inspection, or missing required labeling.

SPCC Corrective Action & Repair Tracking

Deficiencies logged during an inspection automatically create Repair records — no separate data entry step required. Assign responsibilities and set deadlines; the record tracks itself from discovery to completion, so closing the repair closes the paperwork too.

SPCC Compliance Reporting & Documentation

Generate inspection reports, compliance summaries, and documentation packages ready for regulatory review. Maintain an audit trail of every inspection, corrective action, and plan amendment.

Technical Change Report

EHSTracks' Technical Change Report helps environmental managers quickly identify facility changes that may require an SPCC Plan amendment, supporting compliance with the EPA's six-month update requirement.

Built for the Reality of SPCC Inspections

Traditional SPCC programs live in paper logbooks and scattered spreadsheets. Inspectors visit each storage tank, drum, or containment structure, check boxes on paper, and hope the data survives the trip back to the office. By the time findings are transcribed, the details are fuzzy.

EHSTracks replaces this fragile process with structured digital inspections that capture everything in the field — GPS location verification, photo documentation, deficiency logging, and corrective action assignment — all in one workflow.

  • GPS distance deviation enforcement requires written justification if inspectors are too far from inspection points
  • Photo documentation attached directly to inspection items for condition issues
  • Deficiencies automatically create Repair records — no double entry
  • Managers view inspection results and warning reports in real time from the web application
  • Pre- and post-inspection question checklists configured per product, presented once per inspector per day

Meeting SPCC inspection requirements is just the baseline. Whether you are handling routine containment checks or complex environmental inspections & tank safety protocols, grasping what is EHS compliance software is key to maintaining a defensible record.

Interactive Map View

Every inspection point appears as a status-color-coded pin on a satellite map during inspections. Tap a pin to jump to that item. Full-screen mode and center-on-my-location.

Automated Scheduling

Frequency Groups run themselves — every night in the facility's local timezone, the system closes expiring windows, records misses, opens the next window, and recalculates point status.

GPS Distance Verification

If the inspector's GPS position is too far from the point's location, the app requires a written justification. Deviations are reportable for manager review.

Corrective Action Accountability

Repair progress logs itself as your team works, with notifications reminding you to complete repairs. Managers remotely view progress — and the compliance record is already written when the work is done.

Spill Prevention Software for Multi-Facility SPCC Programs

An SPCC program across ten tank farms or terminals fails in the gaps between facilities: one site adds questions, another stops photographing containment, and corrective actions age quietly in local trackers. EHSTracks runs the same SPCC configuration everywhere, so every facility inspects the same point types against the same questions on the same Frequency Groups.

  • Missed inspections are recorded automatically each night, in each facility’s local timezone
  • Every failed answer becomes a Repair with an owner and a due date, visible from the web application
  • Corporate users can receive one email summarizing all the facilities they oversee
  • The Auditor Report packages any inspection period as a PDF for an EPA visit

SPCC Inspection Software FAQ

What is SPCC inspection software?

SPCC inspection software runs the inspections and records a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan calls for under 40 CFR Part 112. EHSTracks schedules recurring inspections of tanks, drums, totes, and secondary containment, guides inspectors through the right questions at each point, verifies their GPS location, attaches photos, and turns every deficiency into a tracked Repair. The result is a signed, dated inspection record ready for an EPA inspector.

What should spill prevention software track for SPCC compliance?

At minimum: every oil container and containment structure as a mapped inspection point, inspections on the schedule your SPCC Plan sets, condition findings with photos, corrective actions through to completion, and changes at the facility that could require a Plan amendment. EHSTracks covers each of these, including a Technical Change report that surfaces setup changes for review.

How often are SPCC inspections required, and how long must records be kept?

The SPCC rule does not set one universal frequency. Under 40 CFR 112.7(e), inspections and tests follow written procedures in your SPCC Plan, typically based on industry standards for the containers involved, and many facilities run monthly visual inspections. Records of those inspections, signed by the inspector or supervisor, must be kept with the Plan for three years. EHSTracks schedules each cadence with Frequency Groups and keeps every record exportable to PDF and Excel.

Can EHSTracks manage SPCC programs across multiple facilities?

Yes. Each facility runs the same SPCC configuration: the same inspection point types, question rules, and Frequency Groups. Corporate users assigned to those facilities see inspection and Repair status for each one, and can receive one email summarizing all of them. See how EHSTracks works for corporate EHS teams.

Does EHSTracks write or certify our SPCC Plan?

No. Most SPCC Plans must be certified by a licensed Professional Engineer, and EHSTracks does not prepare or certify Plans. It runs and documents the inspections your Plan requires, tracks deficiencies to closure, and helps you spot facility changes that may need a Plan amendment.
