equipment can include chemical resistant gloves, eye protection and supplied air respirators. <br />f. Ventilate the area with local exhaust systems or by opening available doors and windows. <br />Note: Avoid use of compressed air to speed evaporation of spilled liquid. This practice <br />increases airborne concentrations and increases the possibility of injuries such <br />as eye damage. <br />g. Dispose of contaminated absorbent in accordance with applicable regulations. This will normally involve <br />disposal of the material as a hazardous waste. If the material is a corrosive, place contaminated absorbent <br />material in polyethylene or polyethylene-lined container for disposal. <br />Note: If the material released is a corrosive (i.e., battery acid), it may be possible to <br />neutralize it after it has been contained. For information on how to neutralize it, <br />facility management should call the emergency numbers provided on the <br />product Material Safety Data Sheet. <br />3. First Aid Procedures: First aid information for an individual chemical is available on its Material Safety <br />Data Sheet. It may also be appropriate to consult a physician. General first aid responses include: <br />a. Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally lift upper and lower <br />lids. Consult a physician. <br />b. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and immediately flush contaminated areas with large <br />amounts of water. <br />c. Inhalation: If overcome or affected by vapors, remove from exposure and call a physician immediately. <br />d. Ingestion: Call emergency medical aid immediately. Consult the MSDS to determine if vomiting should <br />be induced or if individual should be provided other first aid measures. <br />4. Evacuation: Supervisors have the authority to direct an evacuation of the facility. Refer to Part 3 of this <br />Action Plan. <br />5. Reporting: <br />a. Obligation to Report: Depending upon the volume involved, the facility may be required to report a <br />release or threatened release of a hazardous material. No report is required for small, non-harmful releases <br />such as a quart of drain oil on the shop floor. <br />b. Reporting Authority: Any employee who detects a release or threatened release of a hazardous material <br />(other than an incidental spill) should immediately notify his or her supervisor, who shall then be <br />responsible for assessing and beginning a response to the hazard posed. If the release/threatened release <br />involves a significant volume of hazardous material, the supervisor should promptly notify one of the <br />following, who shall have reporting authority: <br />Reporting Authority <br />Dealer <br />General Manager <br />Service Manager <br />Parts Manager <br />Emergency Response Action Plan – Mataga Cadillac Buick GMC <br />©KPA, LLC <br />1110 vALL <br />Page 3
