Spill/Release Response Plan: <br /> A. Reporting: See Tab B <br /> B. Spill Clean Up <br /> 1. Shut off and eliminate all sources of ignition. <br /> 2. Contain the spill by diking around it using sand,earth or other absorbent material. <br /> Ensure special attention to preventing spilled material from reaching a sewer or storm <br /> drain inlet. <br /> 3. If the material is a corrosive(ex: battery acid),neutralizing materials will not normally <br /> be available. The best response is in steps 4-7 below. If clean up is not possible and <br /> only a small quantity of a corrosive solution has spilled,flush the spill down the drain <br /> using a large volume of water to dilute it <br /> 4. Absorb spilled material using sand,earth or other absorbent. Floor cleaning/sweeping <br /> materials are appropriate and are normally available. <br /> 5. Avoid breathing vapors and avoid skin contact Wear protective clothing and <br /> equipment including chemical resistant gloves,eye protection and(possibly)positive <br /> air respirator unit <br /> b. Ventilate the area with local exhaust systems or by opening available doors and <br /> N windows. <br /> Note: Avoid use of compressed air to speed evaporation of spilled liquid_ <br /> This practice increases airborne concentrations and increases the <br /> possibility of injuries such as eye damage. <br /> 7. Dispose of contaminated absorbant in accordance with applicable regulations. This will <br /> normally involve disposal of the material as a hazardous waste. If the material is a <br /> corrosive,place contaminated absorbant material in polyethylene or polyethylene-lined <br /> container for disposal. <br /> 8. If the material is a corrosive,thoroughly gush the surface where the spill ocurred with <br /> water. . <br /> C. First Aid Procedures: Each Material Safetv Data Sheet includes first aid information <br /> specific to the chemical and should be immediately reviewed to determine proper first aid <br /> activities_ A physician should also be immediately consulted. General first aid responses <br /> include: <br /> I. Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. <br /> Occasionally Iift upper and lower lids. Consult a physician. <br /> 2. Skin Contact: Remove contarriinated clothing and immediately flush contaminated <br /> areas with large amounts of water. <br /> C@ 1993 KIP PRAHL ASSOCIATES 3 <br />
