<br />' secondary containment area, evacuate the area. The hazards of responding to releases of <br />materials are identified in the Guidebook for Initial Response to Hazardous Materials <br />' Incidents, which will be carried by all ODRT members. <br />When notifying the Emergency Coordinator, give the following information: <br />' • Location of spill. <br />Type of product spilled. <br />' . Type and number of personnel involved (public, company). <br />• Estimated quantity of spilled material involved. <br />• Medical assistance needed. <br />Step 2: <br />t Cordon off the azea with caution tape to keep unauthorized personnel out. <br />Step 3: <br />Initiate containment: <br />' 1. Attempt to stop the source of the leak by plugging holes in the storage tanks <br /> or containers and/or secondary containment tank using the shutoff valves. <br /> 2. If the spilled amount is minimal (less than five gallons), use absorbent <br />' material to absorb the spill. Use anon-spazking tool such as a plastic shovel <br /> or broom and plastic dust pan to pick up the spent absorbent material and <br /> place it into a drum provided for that purpose. Appropriate spill response <br /> equipment will be located in an area that is easily accessible at all times, <br /> including during non-operating hours. Do not use rags or other combustible <br /> materials to absorb ignitable fluids. Flush the area with soap and water. <br />' 3. If the material is migrating towazd a stream or ditch, cover the inlet and, if <br /> possible, prevent the material from getting into the drainage course. Use a <br />' plastic tarp to cover a lazge area, and anchor it to ensure the drainage way <br />remains sealed. Personnel may use a berm of earthen material or absorbent <br /> booms if a plastic tarp is not available. <br />' 4. If a spill occurs within a building with a drain system that exits the building, <br />immediate attempts must be made to block the drain(s) and prevent the escape <br /> of spilled materials. Drains shall be blocked using plastic tarps, pipe plugs, <br /> absorbent booms or other appropriate methods. Put an absorbent boom, a spill <br />' sock, or, at a minimum, a pile of absorbent dirt or sand ahead of the down <br /> gradient edge to form a pool. This is especially critical in order to prevent the <br /> material from reaching surface water drainage and to minimize infiltration of <br />' the spilled material into the ground. <br />1 <br />1 <br />28 <br />1 <br />
