Operation – Important Safety Information (continued)
General procedures include:
1. Control
the spill by stopping the source of the spill. If the source of the
spill is a container leak, place the leaking container in a larger, watertight
container. Keep unprotected people away from the spill site.
2. Contain
the spill so that it does not spread and get into water sources.
Use a shovel or other tool to make a dike around the spill with soil, sod,
or absorbent material.
3. Clean up
the spill immediately -- Absorbent materials like ground
corncobs or pet litter should be spread on the spill area to soak up the
pesticide. The contaminated material should then shoveled into a leak-
proof container. Do not flush the spill area with water until you receive
advice as directed below.
4. Seek additional advice
from the chemical manufacturer and your state’s
pesticide regulatory agency regarding decontamination of the spill site:
-
Chemical manufacturer
. The chemical label provides contact
information for the chemical manufacturer.
-
State pesticide regulatory agency
. In the U.S., call the National
Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378 for assistance in
determining how to contact your state’s pesticide regulatory
agency.
