II. All employees need to understand the procedures to be used in responding to various kinds <br /> of emergencies involving spills of hazardous materials. This section of the Emergency <br /> Response Procedures, outlines the First Aid Procedures for exposure to gasoline and diesel <br /> fuel from each Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). All employees need to know this <br /> information for their own personal safety, the safety of their co-workers as well as the safety <br /> of customers that could be exposed. The MSDS's for these and other work site chemicals are <br /> filed by product type in the Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Binder at the cashier area. <br /> First Aid Procedures for Exposure to Gasoline and AEIv�® <br /> A.
