Spill Cleanup <br /> Routine Spill Cleanup Procedure <br /> Protective equipment (e.g., disposable gloves, safety glasses) must be worn prior to starting <br /> containment and clean-up of the spill. The required protective equipment is provided in the <br /> 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. <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. Transport the waste to the Hazardous Waste Accumulation Station. <br /> 7. 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 /> All spill materials must be processed as hazardous waste. This includes the product and its <br /> container, paper towels, absorbent, used gloves, and any wet cardboard (box) that was <br /> contaminated by the product. If needed, cut up the cardboard to fit in the largest waste bag. <br /> r .w� <br /> R <br /> I <br /> 4 <br /> ' a Wade <br /> Hazardous Waste Quick Reference Guide 6 May 2019 <br />
