How do you control spillage?
These steps along with the correct equipment and training will ensure that spill response is both fast and effective.
- Assess the risk.
- Select personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Confine the spill.
- Stop the source.
- Evaluate the incident and implement cleanup.
- Decontaminate.
- Complete required reports.
What should be done to control a leak or spill?
Wear personal protective equipment including safety goggles, gloves, and a long-sleeved lab coat during cleanup. Confine the spill to a small area. Use a commercial kit or absorbent material from your spill kit to absorb spilled materials. Place the saturated absorbent in a plastic bag.
What safety measures do you take when cleaning up a spill?
Containment/Cleanup
- Don appropriate gloves, eye protection, lab coat, etc.
- Per SDS use absorbents* (e.g., “spill pillows” for solvents), or neutralizers appropriate for the material*, e.g. sodium bicarbonate for acids, citric for bases.
- Protect floor drains with absorbents or barriers around them.
What is spillage control?
Spill containment is the process of keeping a spillage within a barrier or drainage area rather than allowing it to be absorbed into the surface of the ground.
What is a spill response plan?
A simplified spill response plan might look like this: Evacuate personnel from the immediate area of the spill. Identify the spilled material(s) Barricade the spill area and notify others in surrounding areas. Extinguish or disconnect all sources of ignition and contact the fire department if the chemical is flammable.
What is the last step of any spill cleanup procedure?
What is the last step of any spill cleanup procedure? Wipe down the affected area with detergent and water.
What are the two types of chemical spills?
There are two types of spills that you may run into: Simple Spills and Complicated Spills. Simple Spills are small, confined, and present minimal hazards. You can clean these up. Neutralize or absorb the spill.
What is the spill procedure?
Spill Response and Clean-up Procedures. In the event of a chemical spill, the individual(s) who caused the spill is responsible for prompt and proper clean-up. It is also their responsibility to have spill control and personal protective equipment appropriate for the chemicals being handled readily available.
What should be included in an emergency spill control procedure?
The procedure should describe how to: Tackle a fire or control spills and leaks (when it is safe to do so); Evacuate the site, and if necessary nearby premises. Evacuation of areas in the event of fire or toxic gas emission should be addressed in an emergency evacuation procedure.
How to respond to a large chemical spill?
Medium Spill: 300 cc’s to 5 liters; respond with absorption using an absorption spill kit. Large Spill: More than 5 liters; call UMW PD and OEMS immediately. Absorption technique should be to distribute loose spill control materials over the entire spill area, working from the outside, circling to the inside.
How does SPCC work to prevent oil spills?
The campus SPCC plan identifies management measures that must be implemented wherever oil and oil-based products are used or stored to prevent spills and promptly respond to accidental releases.
What should the absorption technique be for a chemical spill?
Absorption technique should be to distribute loose spill control materials over the entire spill area, working from the outside, circling to the inside. This reduces the chance of splash or escape of the spilled chemical beyond the present boundary perimeter.
