The material must be identified. <br /> b. The employee cleaning up the spill has been trained -on the hazards of the <br /> material. <br /> C. Hazards are similar to normal'working conditions. <br /> } d. Outside resources are not needed to remove the material. <br /> e. Employees are not at risk. <br /> f. The environment is not at risk. <br /> g. The facility is not at risk. <br /> h. The spill can be cleaned up with normal personal protective equipment(PPE). <br /> An Emergency:Response to a major spill is.one where any of the above conditions are not G <br /> met. The following is a more detailed discussion of each of the criteria -for determining <br /> Incidental Response to a minor spill. <br /> a. The material must be identified. <br /> Rely on knowledge of the process-, material data safety sheet (MSDS) information <br /> and labeling accuracy. If, for any reason, the identity of the substance is <br /> unknown, assume it is hazardous and an emergency response is necessary. <br /> b. The employee cleaning up the spill has been, trained on the hazards of the <br /> material. <br /> Most employees have some basic chemical hazard training - such as the <br /> Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Hazard Communications and PPE <br /> k training. For example, this basic training would not be adequate for response if <br /> r the. spill is complex in the sense that there is airborne contaminant potential <br /> because of chemical-volatility,•potential for reactivity with other chemicals, or <br /> potential for human contact. <br /> C. Hazards are similar to normal working conditions. <br /> a <br /> i 1 <br /> When an upset in the process occurs resulting in a spill, the hazards of the spilled ; <br /> material can change. The physical environment (for example, heat and humidity) <br /> as well as the quantity, toxicity, physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) volatility, <br /> flammability, corrosiveness and reactivity of the material must be carefully <br /> consideted before a decision is made how to.clean up a spill: The MSDS contains <br /> hazard information that-is important in making.this decision. <br /> d. Outside resources are not needed to remove the material. <br /> Page 13 of 15 Amended 09/07/06 <br /> I <br /> x <br />
