    To prevent chemical spills during fracking, it is important to follow strict protocols, regularly inspect equipment, train workers, and use secondary containment systems. It is also necessary to conduct risk assessments, use resilient equipment, implement real-time monitoring systems, and have emergency response plans in place. It is important to work closely with suppliers and regulatory agencies.
