Skip to contentWhat to do After the Spillage is Cleaned up?

- Remember that the absorbent materials now have the very same hazardous properties as the originally spilt material.
- Safely dispose of all contaminated, disposable coveralls, gloves, and respirators.
- Decontaminate all non-disposable items (brooms, shovels, PPE, etc.) using a mild detergent and water.
- Report the spillage and cleanup to your supervisor, manager, or health and safety officer as soon as possible.
- Review what happened, to aid in the prevention of future spillages.
- No matter the size of the spillage, record the incident and the actions taken to prevent exposure and cleanup.
- Ensure the supplies used to clean up the spillage are replaced immediately.
