e. Contain the spill by diking around it using sand, earth or other absorbent material. Ensure special <br /> attention to preventing spilled material from reaching a sewer or storm drain inlet. <br /> f. Absorb spilled material using sand, earth or other absorbent. Floor cleaning/sweeping materials are <br /> appropriate and are normally available. <br /> Note:It may be possible to pump up a significant portion of contained liquid. <br /> g. Avoid skin contact and breathing vapors. Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment. This <br /> equipment can include chemical resistant gloves, eye protection and supplied air respirators. <br /> h. 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 concentrations <br /> and increases the possibility of injuries such as eye damage. <br /> i. Dispose of contaminated absorbent in accordance with applicable regulations. This will normally <br /> involve disposal of the material as a hazardous waste. If the material is a corrosive, place <br /> contaminated absorbent 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 been <br /> contained. For information on how to neutralize it, facility management should call the emergency numbers provided on the <br /> product Safety Data Sheet. <br /> 3. First Aid Procedures: <br /> First aid information for an individual chemical is available on its Safety Data Sheet. It may also be <br /> 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 <br /> lower lids. Consult a physician. <br /> b. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and immediately flush contaminated areas with large <br /> amounts of water. <br /> c. Inhalation: If overcome or affected by vapors, remove from exposure and call a physician <br /> immediately. <br /> d. Ingestion: Call emergency medical aid and/or poison control immediately. Consult the SDS to <br /> determine if additional steps should be taken. <br /> 4. Evacuation: <br /> Supervisors have the authority to direct an evacuation of the facility. Refer to Part 3 of this Action <br /> Plan. <br /> 5. Reporting: <br /> a. Obligation to Report: Depending upon the volume involved, the facility may be required to report a <br /> release or threatened release of a hazardous material. Consult state regulations to determine the <br /> reporting needs of this situation. <br /> b. Reporting Authority: Any employee who detects a release or threatened release of a hazardous <br /> material (other than an incidental spill) should immediately notify his or her supervisor, who shall then <br /> be responsible for assessing and beginning a response to the hazard posed. If the <br /> release/threatened release involves a significant volume of hazardous material, the supervisor <br /> should promptly notify one of the following, who shall have reporting authority: <br /> Reporting Authority <br /> James Hitchcock <br /> Yesenia Lopez <br /> Brandon Wood <br /> Emergency Response Action Plan— Clutch &Brake Xchange 1110 vALL <br /> ©KPA, LLC Page 3 <br />
