OPE Ns EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
i. Calculate the volume of soil /material contained in cubic feet: length x width x
depth* = volume. Remember to convert inches to feet before multiplying.
ii. For puddle /ponded material, multiply the volume by 7.48 gal/ft3 to determine the
total quantity in gallons.
iii. If the spill is soaked into the ground, collect a sample and test for soil moisture
content or estimate the percent soil moisture (SM). For example, 20% of total
weight is spilled fluid.
4. Location of spill: Be specific. Reference the system involved and where the spill began and
ended.
5. Reason for spill: Describe what caused the spill and be specific. Describe any equipment involved
if applicable.
6. Material contaminated: Describe the specific type of material contaminated.
Containment and spill Clean-up actions taken: Describe methods used to contain spilled material.
Remove all contaminated material and place in area appropriate for disposal. Contact the
Environmental Department if you have any questions regarding placement of the material.
7. Date and Time spill clean up completed: Date the clean up is complete. If ongoing, state when
each stage was complete.
8. Name of person responsible for the spill reporting: Signature of person(s) responsible for
discovery, containment, clean up of spill.

17. WORK ZONES FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Hazardous Materials
A hazardous material is simply something that, when released, could create harm to people, the
environment, or property. A hazardous material is characterized by its physical and chemical properties
that make it:
• Ignitable
• Toxic
• Corrosive
• Reactive
A thorough knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the materials you may be dealing with
will help in the hazard determination. Also helpful is an understanding of the potential Routes of
Exposure (ROE) for released chemicals. The ROES for a chemical will tell us what we need to do to
protect ourselves if it is released. They are:
• Inhalation
• Absorption
• Ingestion
• Injection
