Responding to Spills of Unknown Substances <br /> On rare occasions, you must respond to a spill of an unknown material. Your response to <br /> this kind of spill is different from a fuel spill. <br /> ■ The fist step is to barricade the area so customers don't drive or walk through the <br /> spill. <br /> • Do not touch the spill or any material that has been contaminated by it and try not <br /> to breathe any fumes coming from the material, they may be hazardous. <br /> ■ Contain the material and prevent it from entering any storm drains. Use booms and <br /> socks only. Place the booms and socks at a safe distance from the material, about 12 <br /> inches. Do not clean up any material, no matter how small it is. Do not pick up any <br /> used absorbent material, booms, or socks. A hazardous materials emergency <br /> response team will handle all clean up and disposal. <br /> ■ Report all unknown material spills to the Help Desk, no matter the size. They will see <br /> that the Flying J Environmental Department is contacted and that an emergency <br /> response team is sent immediately to clean up the spill. The Help Desk will also fill <br /> out the Retail Fuel Spill Report. <br /> 19 <br />
