🛠️ How to Use the Chemical Spill Kit? (5 Steps for Safe Intervention)

Here is a quick guide summarizing the emergency response procedure:

Step 1: 🚨 Ensure Safety & Initiate Response

1. Secure the Area: Stop the source of the leak or spill, if possible.

2. Wear PPE: Immediately put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Protective Apron with Sleeves, Chemical Resistant Gloves, Safety Goggles, N95 Mask, and Boot Covers.

3. Containment: Use the Chemical Absorbent Booms (Socks) to circle the spill area and prevent it from spreading further.

Step 2: 💧 Absorption Process

1. Apply Pads: Place the Chemical Absorbent Pads directly onto the confined liquid spill.

2. Maximize Absorption: Ensure the pads fully soak up the spilled fluid until no visible liquid remains on the surface.

Step 3: 🗑️ Collection of Contaminated Materials

1. Collect: Use the Dustpan & Scraper to gather all the used (contaminated) Pads and Booms.

2. Secure Disposal: Carefully place all collected contaminated materials into the Hazardous Waste Bag provided in the kit.

3. Seal: Seal the bag tightly and securely using the Plastic Ties.

Step 4: ✨ Final Cleanup and Decontamination

1. Surface Cleaning: Wipe the spill area using the High Liquid Absorbent Wipes to remove any final residue.

2. Equipment Check: Decontaminate or dispose of tools like the Dustpan & Scraper, as well as the used PPE.

Step 5: 📑 Reporting and Safe Disposal

1. Disposal Procedure: Hand over the sealed Hazardous Waste Bag to the authorized disposal company, following your facility’s Hazardous Waste Management Procedures.

2. Report: Report the incident to your HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) department and record the intervention process.
