2. Spill Containment and Clean Up: a. Shut off/eliminate all sources of ignition. b. Attempt to prevent any additional release (if possible). An example would be closing a leaking valve or turning off a pump that is causing a release. c. Contain the spill by diking around it using sand, earth or other absorbent material. Ensure special attention to preventing spilled material from reaching a sewer or storm drain inlet. d. Absorb spilled material using sand, earth or other absorbent. Floor cleaning/sweeping materials are appropriate and are normally available. Note: It may be possible to pump up a significant portion of contained liquid. e. Avoid skin contact and breathing vapors. Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment. This equipment can include chemical resistant gloves, eye protection and supplied air respirators. L Ventilate the area with local exhaust systems or by opening available doors and windows. Note: Avoid use of compressed air to speed evaporation of spilled liquid. This practice increases airborne concentrations and increases the possibility of injuries such as eye damage. g. Dispose of contaminated absorbent in accordance with applicable regulations. This will normally involve disposal of the material as a hazardous waste. If the material is a corrosive, place contaminated absorbent material in polyethylene or polyethylene -lined container for disposal. Note: If the material released is a corrosive (i.e., battery acid), it may be possible to neutralize it after it has been contained. For information on how to neutralize it, facility management should call the emergency numbers provided on the product Safety Data Sheet. 3.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and immediately flush contaminated areas with large amounts of water. c.
