<description><![CDATA[Insurance companies do not pay fines and penalties arising from failure to report spills or for late reporting. That often comes as a surprise to carriers and other types of companies at risk from accidental spills of hazmat, diesel fuel and other regulated materials. But that's the very reason insurance companies do not train people to understand reporting documentation or controlling costs and limiting liability related to spills. Reportable quantities of spilled materials vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and spills often involve multiple jurisdictions, confusing the issue. When in doubt about whether a spill involves a reportable quantity, report it. Failure to file required reports can bring stiff fines and penalties, making it unwise to try to cover up a spill... or to delay reporting because many jurisdictions have extremely small windows of time in which reports must be made.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Last week, I was talking to an international acquaintance in Sweden, and we were discussing how they had a huge influx of new immigrants into their country, many of them refugees from Middle Eastern nations. What my acquaintance noted was that whereas the rules and regulations, and the laws of that country were heavily enforced upon the previous citizens, the authorities were giving slack in the rules, often not even enforcing them on the newer immigrants. That sounds a little unfair, especially if you run a small business, and you have to follow all the rules regulations and that...]]></description>
