Spill Cleanup <br />Routine Spill Cleanup Procedure <br />Protective equipment (e.g., disposable gloves, safety glasses, optional safety apron) <br />must be worn prior to starting containment and clean-up of the spill. The required protective <br />equipment is provided in the spill kit. <br />1. Retrieve the closest spill or gather the following supplies from the Accumulation Station: <br />absorbent, broom, dust pan and self-sealing hazardous waste bag(s). <br />2. If the container is still leaking, stop the leakage immediately. If the container is on its side, <br />set it upright; if the cap is loose, tighten securely. <br />3. Starting at the outside edge of the spill, pour a ring of absorbent all the way around to keep <br />the liquid from spreading. Sprinkle the rest of the spill with sufficient absorbent. Allow the <br />absorbent to soak up as much liquid as possible. <br />4. Sweep up the absorbed material with the broom and dustpan. Place the waste materials in <br />the self-sealing bag. Double-bag the waste if necessary. <br />5. Use paper towels to blot the spill area and absorb any remaining spill. Place the paper <br />towels, disposable gloves, and any additional cleanup materials into the self-sealing bag(s). <br />6. Use a mop with water only to further clean up any trace amounts of liquid. This mop water <br />may be disposed of down the maintenance sink. <br />7. Transport the waste to the Hazardous Waste Accumulation Station. <br />8. Using a permanent black marker, label the outside of the bag(s) with the name of the spilled <br />product and the contents (e.g., “Comet Spray Cleanup Materials”). Place the sealed waste <br />into the appropriate container. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Hazardous Waste Quick Reference Guide 6 April 2019, ver 1.0
