EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO CHEMICAL SPILLS AND/OR RELEASES Each department, shop, laboratory, studio, or work area must have an Emergency Response Plan which includes the appropriate site specific procedures and response equipment for dealing with a chemical spill. It is the responsibility of each individual using chemicals and chemical products to become familiar with this plan. The following general rules should be followed in the event of an emergency: 1. ACTIVATE ALARMS, IF NECESSARY. Be familiar with the location of the alarm system in your area. If the incident could threaten the health of the individuals in the building, activate the alarm 2. TREAT LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. FOR INGESTION OR INHALATION, CALL THE POISON CONTROL CENTER 1-800-252-5655. The first priority in the event of an emergency is to protect the life and health of individuals whenever possible. Do not unnecessarily jeopardize your own safety . Know the location of emergency showers and eyewashes. 3. EVACUATE NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL AND PREVENT ACCESS TO THE AREA.

Contact Us USFWS Home Page FOIA New! Fish and Wildlife Service's Updated Oil Spill Contingency Plan (June, 2005) Best Practices for Migratory Bird Care During Oil Spill Response Cover Memo Final Document The challenge of managing oil spills in the United States is increasing in complexity and magnitude. Oil spills threaten millions of miles of coastline, river systems, lakes and terrestrial habitat daily, particularly where there is extensive oil drilling, refining, and transport. Serious, and potentially permanent, ecological damage is possible where chronic spills or spills of national significance occur. The goal of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Oil Spill Program is to emphasize early (contingency) planning and cooperation at the local, regional and national level in an effort to minimize the injury to fish, wildlife, and sensitive environments from oil spills. The Departments of the Interior, Commerce and Agriculture, together with Tribal governments, States, and other jurisdictions, are responsible for protecting these natural resources. Because oil spills respect no boundaries, uniform Federal policies and programs are essential. In addition, since the resources necessary to respond to oil spills are limited and vary among the response agencies, it is more important than ever to establish and strengthen cooperative relationships.

Back to Topic Index Minor Hazardous materials or waste spills that present no immediate threat to personnel safety, health, or to the environment can be cleaned up by laboratory personnel that use the materials or generate the waste. A Minor hazardous material spill is generally defined as a spill of material that is not spilled in large quantity, does not present a significant fire hazard, can be recovered before it is released to the environment, and is not in a public area such as a common hallway. Such a spill can usually be controlled and cleaned up by one or two personnel. Major hazardous material and waste spills should be reported to the MIT emergency number (X100) to receive immediate professional assistance and support in the control and clean up of the spilled material. Major hazardous materials and waste spills are generally defined as having a significant threat to safety, health, or the environment. These spills generally are a highly toxic material or is spilled in large quantity, may present a significant fire hazard, cannot be recovered before it is released to the environment, or is spilled in a public area such as a common hallway. Upon reporting such a spill personnel should stand by at a safe distance to guide responders and spill clean up experts to the spill area.

CHEMICAL SPILLS Anticipate spills by having the appropriate safety equipment on hand. If a spill occurs, immediately alert personnel in the area and do what is necessary to protect life. If it is a small spill , your supervisor is responsible for cleaning up the spill or making sure that it is cleaned up properly. Confine or dike the spill to keep the area involved smaller and to protect floor drains. ( Whenever unsure how to handle a spill, contact the Safety Department at X8925 or X8843.) Use an absorbent material that will neutralize the spill, whenever possible. If the spilled chemical is flammable, extinguish all nearby flames and sources of ignition (such as brush type motors). Protect floor drains or other means for environmental release. Absorbents and spill socks may be placed around drains, as needed. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. For example, rubber gloves, goggles, booties, a lab coat, or a bunny suit if there may be splashing. Place all spill clean-up material and residue into yellow hazardous waste bags or an appropriate container. You may use a dustpan and brush to scoop the spill residue into the container. Decontaminate the area with soap and water after cleanup.

HANDLING CHEMICAL SPILLS MANAGEMENT Remain Calm Refer to your Department's Emergency Response Procedures for information specific to the type of incident. Here is how YOU can Help Assess the Extent of the Spill: Before cleaning up the spill, consider: The size of the spill. The toxicity or other hazardous properties of the materials. What clean-up materials are available. The level of knowledge and training of the person doing the clean-up. Seek advice or assistance from your Lab Manager if: You feel it is unsafe or you lack the knowledge to clean-up the spill safely. You don't know what the spilled material is or lack the materials to clean it up safely. Radioactive materials are involved. The spill is larger than 1 litre or is spread over a large area. You feel any physical symptoms of the exposure (eye or skin irritation, dificulty in breathing, coughing, dizziness, nausea, etc.).

Chemical spills and accidents need to be minimized as much as possible. If a chemical spill should occur, a quick response with a stocked chemical spill kit will help minimize potential harm to personnel, equipment and laboratory space. Outlined in Table 2, is the minimal equipment required for a spill kit. You may add equipment to the kit, provided all personnel are proficient in its use. An example would be adding a metallic mercury spill kit. Contact DOHS for information and guidance in construction of an advanced spill kit.
