Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures. <br /> Follow these steps when cleaning up spills: <br /> Know exactly what type of fluid has been spilled. Where available,reference the Material Data Safety <br /> Sheet(MSDS)before coming in contact with fluid.Understand the type of health, flammability and <br /> reactivity hazards exist with the fluid. <br /> Notify others in the area of any potential risks. <br /> Put-on the proper PPE. This may include a face shield,protective eye-wear, close toed footwear, <br /> protective clothing and gloves. <br /> Identify open drains in the area. Ensure the spill cannot reach the drain.Enclose the perimeter of the drain <br /> with absorbent materials if needed. <br /> Move an approved waste storage container to the area of the spill. These containers need to be made of <br /> material where the fluid cannot leak or seep. They must be sealable, and strong enough to withstand <br /> routine material handling and shipping. Steel drums are commonly used. <br /> Move portable objects out of the area if they have not come in contact with fluid. <br /> Place absorbent materials around the entire perimeter of the spill. Sorbents include pads, cloth tubes, <br /> rags/towels and granular materials. <br /> As the materials become saturated,place them in the approved container, or if the fluid is reusable and <br /> can be filtered,place it back into the original container. <br /> Continue to soak the fluid with the absorbent materials,working from the outside perimeter to the center <br /> of the spill. <br /> Once all the standing fluid is absorbed,wipe the area clean with a degreaser or similar floor cleaner. <br /> Label the container with a description of the type of fluid and storage date, at a minimum. Remove or <br /> black out all other inaccurate labels. Ensure the container and storage site complies with applicable <br /> environmental regulations. Call to get removed and keep all documentation for the Manifest. <br />
