illl <br /> 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 Safety Data Sheet . <br /> 3 . First Aid Procedures : First aid information for an individual chemical is available on its Safety Data <br /> 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 SDS 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 /> Parts and Service Director <br /> Parts Manager <br /> Owner <br /> Emergency Response Action Plan — Premier Hyundai of Tracy 1110 vALL <br /> ©KPA, LLC Page 3 <br />
