    SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURE

    In the event of a fuel, oil, or chemicals spill the following steps should apply:

    1. Stop work, shut down equipment.


    2. Move personnel to safe area.
    3. Identify the substance spilled and refer to MSDS for appropriate safety procedures.
    4. Conduct a hazard assessment and implement controls.
    5. Minimize and safely contain spill.
    6. Immediately notify supervisor.
    7. Alarm others if lives are in danger.

    Contain spill by attempting to stop the flow at the source. Use pails, tarpaulins, barrels, dikes or berms
    immediately once safe to enter spill area. A shallow excavation may be made to contain or stop the flow
    of the product. Spills adjacent to or on waterways must be cleaned up as quickly as possible to prevent
    them from entering the water body.

    Once area is safe and spill has been contained start clean up. Sorbent materials may be used to both
    contain and cleanup spilled material. Ensure traffic is minimized on and around contaminated areas. The
    use of a vacuum truck may be appropriate to skim off contaminates.

    Clean up Materials and Tools


    1. Spill pads, absorbent materials (warehouse, trucks).
    2. Shovels.
    3. Sand, dirt etc.
    4. Personnel.
    5. Pails, tarpaulins, barrels
    6. Safety gloves and goggles

    Waste Handling
    1. If unsure of waste disposal requirements, ask.
    2. Remove waste material from spill site only with consent of supervisor.
    3. Documentation is required for removal of waste by the Person-in-Charge of the spill (oil, fuel or
    chemicals are not domestic waste).
    4. If using barrels for storage of waste ensure barrels are empty and bungs are in.
    5. Clearly mark the barrel or container of what residue or waste is inside.
    6. Once spilled material is cleaned up they will be incinerated, if safe to do so, or disposed of at an
    approved waste facility (Km 90 Nuisance Grounds)

    Large Spills
    1. A command and control center may be needed.
    2. Temporary access roads may be needed.
