Neutralize or absorb the spill. Contact EHS if you have any questions. Remember, if the spilled material is hazardous it must be treated as such after it has been cleaned up. Check with EHS for guidance on disposal of spill clean up materials. Complicated Spills first need to be identified as complicated. Ask the following questions: Is the identity of the chemical unknown? Are multiple chemicals involved? Is the material highly toxic, highly corrosive, flammable, or reactive? Did the spill occur in a public space, such as a hallway? Is the spill in danger of spreading to other parts of the building, such as through the ventilation system? Are you unsure about how to clean this spill up?

Chemical Spills on the Body It should be noted that some chemicals (phenol, aniline,) are rapidly adsorbed through skin. If a large enough area of skin is contaminated an adverse health effect (systematic toxicological reaction) may occur immediately to several hours after initial exposure depending on the chemical. If more than 9 square inches of the skin area has been exposed to a hazardous chemical, seek medical attention after washing the material off the skin. If the incident involves hydrofluoric acid (HF), seek immediate medical attention. Provide the physician with the chemical name.

Extractions: How to Handle Chemical Spills CONTROL THE SPILL Immediate steps should be taken to control the flow of the liquid being spilled regardless of the source. If a sprayer has tipped over, or if a hazardous chemical is leaking from a damaged tank truck, or if a one-gallon can on a storage shelf has rusted through and is leaking, do everything possible to stop the leak or spill at once. For instance, smaller containers up to 55 gallons can be put into larger containers to prevent further release of the chemical. Stopping larger leaks or spills often isn't so simple. Don't expose yourself unnecessarily to the leaking chemical; use protective equipment when attempting to control the leak. Also, don't charge in blindly if someone is injured; again, make sure you are properly protected. Get help-Have someone alert the state and local police if the spill occurs on a public highway. Contact the regional office of the Utah Department of Agriculture (you can call for the Brigham City UDAF office) if the chemical is a pesticide or other agricultural chemical. Be sure to have the product label available! In certain cases, it may be necessary to alert the fire department, but be sure to caution them not to wash down the spill until advised to do so. At times it may also be necessary to contact public health officials and the hospital emergency room. If you encounter an accident that you can't handle or if problems occur during the clean-up phase, you should contact the

Extractions: oil miles engine plastics ... crowded rooms Introduction: Large-Scale Disasters Five quarts of oil can lubricate a car engine for five thou- sand miles against friction and heat, forces that would otherwise destroy an unprotected engine in a trip to the grocery store. The same quantity, barely more than a gallon, can also contaminate 750,000 gallons of water, more than all the water used in a year by two average American families. If that one gallon of oil were multiplied by 68 million, the size of the massive Amoco Cadiz oil tanker spill that occurred off the French coast in 1978, the power of oil to cause havoc begins to take focus. It is simply mind-boggling. Far more potent than oil, a thimble-full of pure liquid chlorine can disinfect hundreds of thousands of gallons of drinking water, killing deadly germs that could sicken hundreds of people. Yet if that chlorine were spilled into a crowded room, it could rapidly evaporate into the air, get in- haled, and be fatal. One companys own risk assessment of its liquid chlorine warned, "In the event of a total failure of a rail- road tank car of chlorine which discharges its entire contents within a ten-minute time frame, the resulting cloud of chlorine vapor would be immediately dangerous to b.....

Extractions: united states chemical groups oil ... chemical accidents Preventing Oil and Chemical Accidents A number of important safety reforms have been prompted by disasters such as the Exxon Valdez spill and the Bhopal leak. Some of these are technical fixes, such as building more durable ships, better plants, and safer railroad cars. But replacing old technologies takes time and money, and unsafe clunkers still ply water and rail. Regulations have also sought to address issues relating to work rules and employee training. Fines and penalties have been increased for unsafe practices, giving teeth to regulations and laws. The environment has become its own industry, with companies offering solutions for anyone willing to invest. Programs in the United States such as the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund go beyond cracking the whip, offering help to industries and increasing their stake in spill prevention. In 1985 the EPA created its Chemical Emergency Preparedness program to encourage state and local authorities to identify hazards in their areas and to plan for potential chemical emergencies. Congress also soon enacted rules relating to emergency response plans that, for example, require facilities to make information available to the public on the hazardous ch.....

If you have bodily contact with the spilled material, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and flush all areas affected with large amounts of water (with the exception of chemicals that react with water). Be aware of hazardous materials in your area. Call Security, ext. 2111 and/or 9-911. In the case of noxious fumes or fire, pull the fire alarm. Evacuate the building, maintaining a safe distance and leave a clear access for arriving emergency personnel. Do not return to the area until instructed to do so by emergency personnel. Be available to advise emergency response personnel when they arrive. Someone responsible for the room or building should be present to provide details of the incident. Notify emergency personnel of those injured or exposed to the effects of the spill (safety shower, medical attention, etc.).

AMSAs Role in Maritime Environmental Issues You are here: Home Download Fact Sheet: How Australia responds to oil and chemical spills in the marine environment PDF: 60KB] For further information on the National Plan see the National Plan Fact Sheet Each spill incident involves a unique environment and set of circumstances requiring an individual plan of action and response decisions based on proven clean up options. New technology may develop to improve methods of dealing with marine spills, but until extensively proven will not be exclusively used in spill response. The National Plan recognises there are limitations in responding to a spill in the marine environment. The ability to respond effectively depends on what is physically and scientifically possible. Currently there is not the technology to prevent weatherdriven slicks or airborne contaminants from coming ashore, nor can prevention of environmental damage or economic loss be guaranteed. Chemical dispersal of oil may be used only when all environmental effects have been considered. The effective use of dispersant requires quick decision-making so that oil can be dispersed at sea before it can come ashore. The National Plan has in place a Fixed Wing Aerial Dispersant Capability (FWADC) program for the application of oil spill dispersant. The FWADC uses large agricultural aircraft with a dispersant capacity of between 1850 and 3100 litres. This complements dispersant spraying arrangements using helicopters, which are confined to close inshore work.

All individuals at risk due to the spill should be warned immediately. If the spill involves nonvolatile, nonflammable and nontoxic material then it should be cleaned up as directed by your supervisor. Most cleanups of liquid spills are facilitated by the use of an absorbent material that will neutralize the liquid where appropriate. Cleanup can then be carried out using a dustpan, brush and appropriate protective equipment. The spill area should be washed following the cleanup. If a hazardous chemical such as a flammable, toxic or highly reactive substance is spilled, immediately warn everyone in the area. Shut down all equipment and leave the area. Your supervisor should be notified immediately and will be responsible for the proper cleanup of the contaminated area. Any clothing that has been contaminated should be removed as quickly as possible and decontaminated where possible. Waste from chemical spills must be disposed of in an appropriate manner
