CHEMICAL SPILLS AND LEAKS
17.1
All chemical spills must be cleaned up immediately.
17.1.1
Only persons who have been deemed qualified (received training on
chemical hazards and clean-up techniques) shall clean up chemical spills.
17.1.2
Small chemical spills of known materials (i.e. less than one quart) of low to
moderately hazardous materials can be cleaned up by qualified laboratory
personnel. Larger spills should be cleaned up by the Emergency
Response Team (ERT), since larger quantities of spill supplies than
typically stored in a laboratory will be required. In addition, special
precautions such as use of personal protective equipment (PPE) may be
needed based on the type and volume of material spilled.
17.1.3
Call 437-8600 or 7-8600 to report chemical spills.
17.2
All chemical leaks must be contained immediately upon discovery, and the
leak source repaired and cleaned up as soon afterward as business
conditions allow. At no time shall a leak be allowed to continue
uncontained.
17.2.1
Only persons who have been deemed qualified shall contain chemical
leaks.
17.2.2
Call 437-8600 or 7-8600 to report chemical leaks.
17.2.3
Leaking chemical containers should be clearly labeled to indicate that they
are leaking, and should not be moved without adequate spill containment
Damaged or leaking chemical containers are contained and over-packed if
necessary by the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and placed in
designated storage areas. If the leaking container is deemed unfit for use
and declared waste, it should be labeled according to the Hazardous
waste rules.
