Working with hazardous materials requires additional safety precautions.
Safe work practices include:
Adequate spill control measures can usually be found in the MSDS. For practical purposes, however, it is generally necessary to train designated individuals in specific spill control procedures as it applies to the use and concentration found in the workplace. Containment and neutralization using acceptable compounds intended for that purpose are preferred method of spill control.
Spills should be contained and cleaned up by employees thoroughly familiar with the substances and the proper safety procedures. Chemicals should be disposed of according to approved procedures.
