Chemical spills

Chemical spills must be quickly contained and properly cleaned up.

Refer to the chemical label for any specific cleanup instructions with regard to the

chemical spilled.

General procedures include:

1. Control the spill by stopping the source of the spill. If the source of the spill is a

container leak, place the leaking container in a larger, watertight container. Keep

unprotected people away from the spill site.

2. Contain the spill so that it does not spread and get into water sources. Use a

shovel or other tool to make a dike around the spill with soil, sod, or absorbent

material.

3. Clean up the spill immediately -- Absorbent materials like ground corncobs or

pet litter should be spread on the spill area to soak up the chemical. The

contaminated material should then be shoveled into a leak-proof container. Do

not flush the spill area with water until you receive advice as directed below.

4. Seek additional advice from the chemical manufacturer and your state’s

regulatory agency regarding decontamination of the spill site:

- Chemical manufacturer. The chemical label provides contact information

for the chemical manufacturer.
