Safely Using the Absorbent

1. Absorbent should be distributed over the entire spillage area, working from the outside, circling into the inside. This stops the spread of the spilt chemical.
2. When spilt materials have been absorbed, use a brush and scoop to place materials in the appropriate container (provided in spill kits.) Dispose of any contaminated items and PPE used during the cleanup in the appropriate waste bin.
3. Complete the required hazardous waste label – identifying the material as spill debris involving X chemical – and affix it to the waste container.
4. Arrange for collection of the hazardous waste container by an approved waste contractor as soon as possible.
