Spill Response 7 Steps
Spill Response 7 Steps
PRESENTS
EVALUATE INCIDENT
IMPLEMENT CLEAN-UP
Once the spill is confined with socks or dikes and the source
has been stopped, it is time to reassess the incident and
develop a plan of action for implementing the spill cleanup.
PIG Pillows and PIG Mat Pads
should be used to absorb the
remainder of the spill. Simply place
the pillows and pads throughout the
spill area. Once the absorbents are
saturated, they should be properly
disposed. Used absorbents may be
considered hazardous waste and
should be managed properly.
DECONTAMINATE
Decontaminate the site, personnel, and equipment by
removing or neutralizing the hazardous materials that have
accumulated during the spill.
This may involve removing
and disposing of
contaminated media, such
as earth, that were exposed
during the spill incident.
An effective decontamination
area ensures the health and
safety of emergency responders.
