SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
SPILL: Leaks should be stopped. Spills should be contained and cleaned up immediately. Liquid spills should be removed by using a vacuum truck. Solid spills should be scooped up and placed in approved containers for disposal. Neutralize remaining traces of material with any dilute inorganic acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, or acetic acid. The spill area should then be flushed with water followed by liberal covering of sodium bicarbonate. All clean-up material should be removed and placed in approved containers, labeled and stored in a safe place to await proper treatment and disposal. Spills on areas other than pavement, e.g. dirt or sand, may be handled by removing the affected soils and placing in approved containers. Persons performing clean-up work should wear adequate personal protective equipment and clothing. Spills or releases should be reported if required, to the appropriate local, state, and federal regulatory agencies.
CAUTION: STAIN REMOVER may react violently with acid water.
DISPOSAL: The materials resulting from clean-up operations may be hazardous waste and, therefore, subject to specific regulations. Package, storage, transport, and dispose of all clean-up materials and any contaminated equipment in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local health environmental regulation. Shipments of waste materials are subject to manifesting requirements per applicable regulations. Appropriate disposal will depend on the nature of each waste material and should be performed by competent and properly permitted contractors. Ensure that all responsible federal, state and local agencies receive proper notification of spill and disposal methods.
