[Audio] Types of Spills. Spills are categorized into two types.
Controllable spills are those that can be safely managed and cleaned by RGM employees. These do not require an Emergency Management Response Plan.
Uncontrollable spills, on the other hand, are beyond normal control measures and require an Emergency Management Response Plan to effectively manage and reduce their impact.
This classification ensures that the correct response is applied based on the severity of the spill..

[Audio] Spill Classification at Rosebel Gold Mines. To ensure an effective and appropriate response to spills, Rosebel Gold Mines uses a classification system based on the size and potential environmental impact of each incident.
Spills are classified into five levels:
Levels 1 to 3 are considered controllable spills, with slight to minor environmental impact. Level 1 involves spills of less than 50 liters. Level 2 ranges from 50 to 500 liters. Level 3 includes spills greater than 500 liters. Levels 4 and 5 are considered uncontrollable spills, with major to extreme environmental impact. Level 4 ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 liters. Level 5 includes spills greater than 15,000 liters..
