1 Your jobsite is going to be visited tomorrow by a group of managers from the home office, including the company’s environmental compliance manager. You do a quick site inspection to make sure the fuel storage area is clean, but you notice that there are some oily stains on the ground in the equipment maintenance area. The last thing you need right now is some unnecessary attention on a couple of insignificant drips, so you have the laborers spread a few wheelbarrows full of fresh gravel over the stained area.

 Are there any consequences associated with covering up a small fuel spill area?

 What would your answer be if the environmental compliance manager noticed the fresh gravel and asked you about it?

 What might happen if the environmental compliance manager asked the laborers about the fresh gravel?

 What might be some other options for dealing with the spilled fuel?
