Chemical Spill
Notes and Precautions The range and quantity of hazardous substances used inlaboratories require preplanning to respond safely to chemical spills.
http://www.hhmi.org/research/labsafe/erg/chemspil.html

Extractions: The range and quantity of hazardous substances used in laboratories require preplanning to respond safely to chemical spills. The cleanup of a chemical spill should only be done by knowledgeable and experienced personnel. Spill kits with instructions, absorbents, reactants, and protective equipment should be available to clean up minor spills. A minor chemical spill is one that the laboratory staff is capable of handling safely without the assistance of safety and emergency personnel. All other chemical spills are considered major. Minor Chemical Spill

Extractions: CHEMICAL SPILLS ON PERSONNEL For spills covering small amounts of skin, immediately flush with flowing water for no less than 15 minutes. If there is no visible burn, wash with warn water and soap, removing any jewelry to facilitate removal of any residual materials. Check the MSDS to see if any delayed effects should be expected. It is advisable to seek medical attention for even minor chemical burns. For spills on clothes, don't attempt to wipe or flush off the clothes. Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, shoes and jewelry while using the safety shower. Seconds count, and no time should be wasted because of modesty. Be careful not to spread the chemical on the skin, or especially in the eyes. To prevent contamination of the eyes use caution when removing pullover shirts or sweaters, ti may be better to cut the garments off. Immediately flood the affected body are a with tempered water for at least 15 minutes. Resume if pain returns. Do not use creams, lotions or salves. Get medical attention as soon as possible. Launder contaminated clothes separately from other clothing or discard as recommended in the MSDS. Never work with chemicals in a laboratory that is not equipped with a safety shower. For splashes into the eyes, immediately flush the eye with tempered potable water from a gently flowing source for at least 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids away from the eyeball, move the eye up and down and sideways to wash thoroughly behind the eyelids.
Reporting Hazardous Material & Chemical Spills: Everything You Need To Know
Hazardous Material chemical spills Everything You Need To Know.
http://www.ehso.com/ChemSpills.htm

Extractions: Everything You Need To Know Requirements Overview How to Report Chemical Fact Sheets Exemptions For releases of hazardous substances, the federal government has established a reportable quantity , or " RQ ," that triggers the reporting requirements under the Superfund law. If a hazardous substance is released to the environment in an amount that equals or exceeds its RQ, the release must be reported to federal authorities so that emergency response personnel can evaluate whether a response action is needed. The RQ value is not the only factor used to determine whether federal notification requirements apply. Certain exempt types of releases don't need to be reported everytime an RQ or more is released and others don't have to be reported at all. Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986, the federal government has designated several hundred as "extremely hazardous substances" based on their acute lethal toxicity. Under the law, releases of these extremely hazardous substances trigger reporting requirements to state and local authorities. Specifically, EPA requires that the owner or operator of a facility that releases an extremely hazardous substance in an amount greater than its established RQ notify the state emergency response commission and the local emergency planning committee established for the location where the incident occurs. There are over 100 chemicals that are designated as both a Superfund hazardous substance and an EPCRA extremely hazardous substance. In the event of a release of any of these substances, the person responsible for the release is required to contact all of the appropriate federal, state, and local authorities.

Article 1 chemical spills. Teachers should not attempt to clean upmajor chemical spills which involve a high degree of hazard.
http://www.stao.org/safeart1.htm

Extractions: Article 1: Chemical Spills STAO Safety Committee Recommended Procedures. GENERAL PRINCIPLES It is the responsibility of all those working in a laboratory to be aware of potential hazards and to prevent them from becoming accidents. However, whenever chemicals are in use, there is a danger of spillage. A well organized science program will have available a general spill kit (see Table) as well as a special kit to deal with mercury spills. T!he science teacher must be fully acquainted with the properties and method of safe handling of all substances being used in the laboratory and must have access to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS.) In the event of a chemical spill, it is important to warn others, render first aid if necessary, prevent further contamination or exposure, and contain and clean up the spill. If the spill results in body contact, or contamination of clothing, priority should be given to treatment of the person(s) involved. Teachers should not attempt to clean up major chemical spills which involve a high degree of hazard. For these serious spills, students should be immediately evacuated from the laboratory. The area should be secured, warning signs should be posted, and the principal should be notified to initiate the required emergency procedures. At the commencement of every science course, students must receive safety training which includes procedures to follow should a minor or major spill occur.
Toxic Chemical Spills
Toxic chemical spills. Barely a week goes by that we aren't treatedto a story involving a spill or leak of a CHEMICAL which threatens
http://users.aol.com/DaveMcCall/spills.htm

Extractions: In the December 7, 1992 issue, Marjorie Ottenberg and Karl Klager independently found a wire service report that "about 150 bags of toxic vinyl chloride fell off a . . . freight train . . . between Applegate and Rocklin." The California (why are we not surprised?) Department of Forestry was not concerned unless it rained. It seems that "the chemical, used to make plastic pipes, vaporizes when it becomes wet." Is it just me, or does it seem odd that we would make pipes out of a substance that vaporizes when it becomes wet? First, vinyl chloride is a gas. It would not be shipped in bags. What fell off the train was certainly polyvinyl chloride, an important versatile plastic which is, indeed, used to make pipes. It is also absolutely innocuous. The increasing use of polyvinyl chloride piping is probably the single biggest step we have taken in the last thirty years to reduce lead in drinking water. (Don't get excited. There wasn't enough lead in drinking water before to worry about.)

Extractions: Chemical spills at sea Case studies Download Word file Introduction Maritime transport of chemical products Methodology ... Annex: conditions of reported incidents, risks involved and operational action During the last twenty years, there has been a considerable development in the transport and handling of hazardous chemical products. Ships which transport chemical products carry a whole range of products which often pose a number of problems and risks in the case of accidents. Maritime transport of hazardous substances can be done either in bulk or in packaged form. Products in bulk are transported either by chemical carriers, as is the case of liquid substances at an ambient temperature, or by gas carriers if gaseous substances are involved. The capacity of tankers for chemical products varies from 400m³ to 40.000m³ and tanks vary from 70m³ to 2.000m³. The capacity of ships carrying liquefied gases also varies and can reach 100.000m³/ l /. International construction norms of ships carrying chemical products are defined by the IMO : the IBC code for chemical products in bulk, the IGC code for liquefied gases in bulk and the BC code for solids in bulk.

http://www.co.okaloosa.fl.us/safety_hazmat_toxic_chem.html

Extractions: The Risks Hazardous chemicals are stored and transported all around us. An accidental spill can happen anywhere, at anytime, and with no warning. You must know how to protect yourself until rescue workers can arrive and take control of the situation. What to look for If you live near a water tower, then chances are there is a chlorine cylinder stored nearby. If you live near an industrial park, then there may be large quantities of hydrogen fluoride, acids, etc. stored in tanks or buildings. If you live near a transportation route, such as a highway or railroad, chances are that thousands of gallons of hazardous materials go by your home every day. Anytime there is an accident involving any of these sites or vehicles, hazardous chemicals may be released. You may see a cloud of mist or smoke, hear an explosion, see a large fire, or hear the sounds of crashing metal in an accident. If this happens, you should take immediate precautions. Evacuate or Shelter-in-Place People's natural reaction to danger is to get away from it. In some cases, however, leaving your home or other building could expose you to greater danger than staying inside. This is never an easy decision, but there are some general guidelines you can follow:
