The proper way to deal with a hazardous substance spill 1. Assess the hazard Assess the spill and, if possible, identify the spilled liquid and its potential quantity. Notify the fire brigade and other emergency services if necessary. Your safety always comes first. 2. Wear protective equipment Select appropriate personal protective equipment. Refer to the instruction manual or safety data sheet if necessary. The following applies: under no circumstances should you clean up a spill without the appropriate protective equipment.

The proper way to deal with a hazardous substance spill 3. Stop and limit the leak Stop the leak at its source. Pay special attention to drains and permeable substrates, prevent media from entering them if possible! Stop the leak and prevent it from spreading further. Dispersion: Use containment barriers and/or sealing barriers to stop the leaking liquid. 4. Mark the accident site. Close off the accident site so that workers do not accidentally come into contact with the spill or spread it further with their feet or industrial trucks.

The proper way to deal with a hazardous substance spill 5. Assess the situation Once the situation is under control, determine further actions to remove the spilled liquid. 6. Absorb the liquid Absorb the liquid found using absorbent cloths and DENSORB pads. 7. Decontaminate Check for residues. Decontaminate accident site and emergency personnel if necessary. 8. Dispose of professionally Used bonding fleeces must be disposed of in accordance with legal regulations. Disposal depends on the liquid absorbed. Information on this can be obtained from all certified waste management companies. Temporary storage of e.g. oil-containing binders can take place in ASP containers.

Inform the personnel involved, management and, if necessary, the authorities about the accident and facilitate a learning process from the experience gained. Help determine the cause of the spill so that processes can be corrected if necessary and thus avoid a recurrence of the emergency. 10. Replenish emergency equipment Replenish DENSORB emergency kits and replace used PPE, barriers, recovery drums, etc. Transport of Dangerous Goods - Modernization of Curricula and Development of Trainings for Professionals in the Western Balkans HEIs / DGTRANS
