1. Action after Chemical
Spillage
A chemical accident is the unintentional
release of one or more chemical
hazardous substances that could harm
human health and the environment. Such
events include fires, explosions, leakages
or release of toxic or hazardous materials
that can cause people illness, injury, or
disability.
एक रासायनिक दुर्घटिा एक या एक से अधिक रासायनिक खतरिाक पदार्थों
की अिजािे में ररहाई है जो मािव स्वास््य और पयाघवरण को िुकसाि पहुुंचा
सकती है। इस तरह की र्टिाओुं में आग, ववस्फोट, ररसाव या ववषाक्त या
खतरिाक सामग्री की ररहाई शाममल है जो लोगों को बीमारी, चोट या
ववकलाुंगता का कारण बि सकती है।

2. Our Main Objectives.
1. What is Spillage and types of Spillage
2. Response to minimize loss and reduce the
potential hazards from the incident site.
3. Validate DMP
4. Escalation Matrix, Incident Reporting and
Documentation.

3. Types of Spills
There are two types of spills that you may run into: Simple Chemical Spills and Complicated
Chemical Spills.
1) Simple Chemical Spills are small, confined, and present minimal hazards. You can clean
these up. Neutralize or absorb the spill. Contact EHS if you have any questions.
Remember, if the spilled material is hazardous it must be treated as such after it has been
cleaned up. Check with EHS for guidance on disposal of spill clean up materials.
2) Complicated Chemical Spills first need to be identified as complicated.
OUR FIRST OBJECTIVE IS ACHIVED BY UNDERSTANDING THIS
फ
ै ल क
े प्रकार
आप दो प्रकार क
े स्स्पल का सामिा कर सकते हैं:
१) सािारण रासायनिक स्स्पल और जटटल रासायनिक स्स्पल। सािारण रासायनिक ररसाव छोटे,
सीममत और न्यूितम खतरे पेश करते हैं। आप इन्हें साफ कर सकते हैं। स्स्पल को बेअसर या
अवशोवषत करिा। यटद आपक
े कोई प्रश्ि हैं तो ईएचएस से सुंपक
घ करें।
याद रखें, यटद धगराई गई सामग्री खतरिाक है तो उसे साफ करिे क
े बाद उसी तरह से व्यवहार
ककया जािा चाटहए। स्स्पल क्लीि अप सामग्री क
े निपटाि पर मागघदशघि क
े मलए ईएचएस से
सुंपक
घ करें।
२) जटटल रासायनिक ररसाव को पहले जटटल क
े रूप में पहचािा जािा चाटहए।
इसे समझने से ही हमारा पहला उद्देश्य प्राप्त होता है

4. Response to minimize loss and reduce the potential hazards from the incident site.
Spill Clean-Up
• Minor spills should be cleaned-up at the time of the
spill. Major spills may require special treatment,
equipment or emergency assistance.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as rubber
gloves and goggles, shall be available to staff when
dealing with hazardous materials.
• An approved spill kit should be readily available to all
staff.
• When necessary, report the chemical spill as per
escalation matrix and call emergency numbers if there
are any injuries.
• When necessary, restrict access to the spill area.
• If the spilled chemical is flammable, make sure that
there is no smoking in the area and turn off machinery
and other power equipment.

5. Definitions
• Flammable: A substance having a
flash point below 100 degrees
Fahrenheit - easily ignited and
quick burning.
• Toxic: A substance which has the
capacity, through chemical
reaction or mixture, to produce
injury or harm to the body by entry
through absorption, ingestion,
inhalation, or injection.
• Caustic: A substance with the
capability of burning, destroying or
eating away organic tissue by
chemical reaction - Corrosive.

6. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• What are Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and who prepares them?
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are documents prepared by the manufactures/ suppliers of the
chemicals and contain information on physical and chemical properties of the material, potential
hazards of the material and how to work safely with these materials. They also contain information on
usages, storage, handling and emergency procedures related to the hazards of the materials. In fact,
they provide a single reference for all information about hazardous substances.
• सामग्री सुरक्षा डेटा शीट (एमएसडीएस) क्या हैं और उन्हें कौन तैयार करता है?
सामग्री सुरक्षा डेटा शीट (एमएसडीएस) रसायिों क
े निमाघताओुं/आपूनतघकताघओुं द्वारा तैयार
ककए गए दस्तावेज हैं और इसमें सामग्री क
े भौनतक और रासायनिक गुणों, सामग्री क
े
सुंभाववत खतरों और इि सामधग्रयों क
े सार्थ सुरक्षक्षत रूप से काम करिे क
े तरीक
े क
े बारे
में जािकारी शाममल है। इिमें सामग्री क
े खतरों से सुंबुंधित उपयोग, भुंडारण, हैंडमलुंग और
आपातकालीि प्रकियाओुं की जािकारी भी होती है। वास्तव में, वे खतरिाक पदार्थों क
े बारे
में सभी जािकारी क
े मलए एक ही सुंदभघ प्रदाि करते हैं।

7. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• The SDS is used by
chemical manufacturers
and vendors to convey
hazard information to users.
• A SDS should be obtained
when a chemical is
purchased.
• A chemical inventory list,
and SDS, for each chemical
are required to be
maintained.

8. Reading the SDS
Information on the MSDS is organized in 16
sections as follows:
1 Identification includes product identifier;
manufacturer or distributor name,
address, phone number; emergency
phone number; recommended use;
restrictions on use.
2 Hazard(s) identification includes all
hazards regarding the chemical; required
label elements.
3 Composition/information on ingredients
includes information on chemical
ingredients; trade secret claims.
4 First-aid measures includes important
symptoms/effects, acute, delayed;
required treatment.

5 Fire-fighting measures lists suitable
extinguishing techniques, equipment;
chemical hazards from fire.
6 Accidental-release measures lists
emergency procedures; protective
equipment; proper methods of containment
and cleanup.
7 Handling and storage lists precautions for
safe handling and storage, including
incompatibilities.

8 Exposure controls/personal protection lists OSHA’s Permissible
Exposure Limits (PELs); Threshold Limit Valves (TLVs);
appropriate engineering controls; personal protective equipment
(PPE).
9 Physical and chemical properties lists the chemical’s
characteristics.
10 Stability and reactivity lists chemical stability and possibility of
hazardous reactions.
11 Toxicological information includes routes of exposure; related
symptoms, acute and chronic effects; numerical measures of
toxicity.

13 Disposal Considerations *
14 Transportation Information *
15 Regulatory Information *
16 Other Information includes the date of preparation or last revision.
*Note: Since other Agencies regulate this information, OSHA will not be
enforcing Sections 12 through 15 (29CFR 1910.1200(g)(2)).

12. OSHA Requirements
OSHA requires that all SDS sheets be written in English and include
the following:
• The common name of a hazardous single substance chemical.
• The chemicals and common names of the ingredients that contribute
to a chemical mixture tested for hazards as a whole.
• If a hazardous chemical mixture has not been tested as a whole,
then the chemical and common names of all ingredients are
determined to be a health hazards.
• The chemical and common names of all ingredients found to pose a
physical hazard when in a mixture.
• Physical and chemical characteristics, such as a vapor pressure and
flash point, of a hazardous chemical.

13. OSHA Requirements (cont.)
• Employee exposure limit.
• The potential health hazards of the chemical, including symptoms of
exposure, and any medical conditions known as resulting from
exposure to a chemical.
• If the chemical has been found to be a potential carcinogen.
• General precautions for safely handling chemicals.
• General control measuring for working with chemicals.
• Emergency and first-aid procedures.
• The date of when the SDS was prepared or last time it was updated.
• Name, address and telephone number of the chemical
manufacturer.
