Diking is defined as?

Diking is defined as?

• A. Creating a barrier in a waterway or depression (complete, overflow, underflow)
• B. Creating a barrier not in a waterway or depression (road, sidewalk, floor)
• C. Pushing or diverting product to a less hazardous area
• D. Collecting the product in a less hazardous area

Answer: (B)

Diking is building a barrier around a liquid spill to keep it contained on a solid surface. The barrier is placed on the floor, a pad, or another non-water surface, not in a natural waterway or a ground depression, so the spill can’t spread to drains or other areas. This containment makes cleanup safer and easier and prevents environmental release. It’s different from simply diverting the product to a less hazardous area or collecting it somewhere else, which don’t create a boundary to keep the liquid from moving.
