Chemical spills
Chemical spills must be quickly contained and properly cleaned up.
Refer to the chemical label for any specific clean-up instructions with regard to the chemical
spilled. 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.
