2. Spill Containment and Clean Up: <br /> a. Shut off/eliminate all sources of ignition. <br /> b. Attempt to prevent any additional release(if possible). An example would be closing a leaking valve or turning <br /> off a pump that is causing a release. <br /> c. Contain the spill by diking around it using sand,earth or other absorbent material. Ensure special attention to <br /> preventing spilled material from reaching a sewer or storm drain inlet. <br /> d. Absorb spilled material using sand,earth or other absorbent. Floor cleaning/sweeping materials are appropriate <br /> and are normally available. <br /> Note: It may be possible to pump up a significant portion of contained liquid. <br /> e. Avoid skin contact and breathing vapors. Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment. This equipment <br /> can include chemical resistant gloves,eye protection and supplied air respirators. <br /> f. Ventilate the area with local exhaust systems or by opening available doors and windows. <br /> Note: Avoid use of compressed air to speed evaporation of spilled liquid.This practice increases airborne <br /> concentrations and increases the possibility of injuries such as eye damage. <br /> g. Dispose of contaminated absorbent in accordance with applicable regulations. This will normally involve <br /> disposal of the material as a hazardous waste.If the material is a corrosive,place contaminated absorbent <br /> material in polyethylene or polyethylene-lined container for disposal. <br /> Note: If the material released is a corrosive(i.e.,battery acid),it may be possible to neutralize it after it has <br /> been contained. For information on how to neutralize it,facility management should call the emergency <br /> numbers provided on the product Material Safety Data Sheet. <br /> 3. First Aid Procedures: First aid information for an individual chemical is available on its Material Safety <br /> Data Sheet. It may also be appropriate to consult a physician. General first aid responses include: <br /> a. Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally lift upper and lower <br /> lids. Consult a physician. <br /> b. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and immediately flush contaminated areas with large amounts <br /> of water. <br /> c. Inhalation: If overcome or affected by vapors,remove from exposure and call a physician immediately. <br /> d. Ingestion: Call emergency medical aid immediately. Consult the MSDS to determine if vomiting should be <br /> induced or if individual should be provided other first aid measures. <br /> 4. Evacuation: Supervisors have the authority to direct an evacuation of the facility. Refer to Part 3 of this <br /> Action Plan. <br /> 5. Reporting: <br /> a. Obligation to Report: Depending upon the volume involved,the facility may be required to report a release <br /> or threatened release of a hazardous material. No report is required for small,non-harmful releases such as a <br /> quart of drain oil on the shop floor. <br /> b. Reporting Authority: Any employee who detects a release or threatened release of a hazardous material <br /> (other than an incidental spill)should immediately notify his or her supervisor,who shall then be responsible <br /> for assessing and beginning a response to the hazard posed. If the release/threatened release involves a <br /> significant volume of hazardous material,the supervisor should promptly notify one of the following,who shall <br /> have reporting authority: <br /> Reporting Authority <br /> General Manager <br /> Service Manager <br /> Office Manager <br /> Parts Manager <br /> Body Shop Manager <br /> General Sales Manager <br /> Emergency Response Action Plan— Sanborn Chevrolet 1110 vALL <br /> Page 3 <br /> E 'L.LJ <br /> i V <br /> MAY 19 2011 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br /> DEPARTMENT <br />
