RELATED LINKS Main story: " A fast track to information sharing When it comes to disasters of any kind involving chemicals, the federal government is probably the best source of information. Two agencies, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, have jointly developed a system to help public safety agencies deal with the thousands of chemicals that can harm people or the environment. The Computer-Aided Management of Emergency Operations (CAMEO) program provides information about 6,000 chemicals and 80,000 chemical synonyms and identification numbers so people faced with a chemical spill can figure out exactly what they are dealing with. The information available through CAMEO allows first responders to access recommendations on how to respond to a spill, the physical properties of chemicals, health hazards and how to administer first aid. The program also provides case histories of past events and information on how the chemical may react with other chemicals that may be present. The free software, which includes modules for electronic mapping and gas-dispersion modeling, was developed in 1985 and has been downloaded by about 7,000 installations, said Robert Pavia, an environmental scientist in NOAA's Hazardous Materials and Assessment Response Division. A new version of the software is expected this month.

Routine monitoring of facilities worldwide that handle or store hazardous chemicals and/or waste will be possible. Frequent satellite revisits will allow for early detection of contamination events, such as holding tank failures. The satellite imagery can then be used to assess damage and monitor cleanup and recovery. 2.8-meter multispectral imagery, sharpened with 70-centimeter panchromatic, will be capable of showing the effect of contamination due to holding tank failure.

Chemical Spills IF A CHEMICAL SPILL OCCURS: If toxic chemicals come in contact with your skin, immediately flush the affected area with clear water. Call 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY. Also notify Campus Safety/ Security at ext. 8499 and give the location of the chemical spill and that 911 has been called. If there is any possible danger, evacuate your area. IF CHEMICAL FIRE OCCURS: Remain calm. CALL 9-1-1. Notify Campus Safety/ Security at ext. 8499 and give the location of the chemical fire and that 911 has been called. If the fire is small and you have received training, attempt to put it out with a fire extinguisher or other available means. Do not jeopardize your personal safety. Never allow the fire to come between you and an exit. Evacuate your area if you are unable to put out the fire. Close doors and windows behind you to confine the fire. Proceed to an exit. Do not break windows. Oxygen feeds a fire.

Your knowledge of the area will assist the team. Do not allow unauthorized personnel to enter the contaminated area. Report the incident to your supervisor and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety and to the local joint health and safety committee. Use the "Accident/Incident/Occupational Disease Report" form. Minor Chemical Spill Indoors STOP - THINK! Do not rush. Carefully plan cleanup. GET MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET AND DETERMINE APPROPRIATE CLEANUP PROCEDURES FOR THE MATERIAL The effects of a spill can be minimized with proper planning. The size, as well as the resultant hazard from a spill, partially determine the extent of the required precautions. Planning for emergencies such as spills must be an integral part of preparation for all experimental work.

Chemical Spills Chemical spills which may pose a threat should be handled by: Attempt to confine the spill as much as possible only if you have been trained to confine spills and are thoroughly familiar with the hazards of the spilled chemical. If you have contact with the spilled material, find a source of water ( restroom, kitchen sink, custodial closet) remove any contaminated clothing immediately and flush all areas of bodily contract with large amounts of water. Notify the Public Safety Department at (96)2-5555 and tell them: Building Name, Floor, Room Number, Type of Accident and Chemicals Involved. Minor Chemical Spills Defined as a spill of potentially dangerous chemicals in quantities less than one liter. In a laboratory environment, this would normally be limited to extremely hazardous substances. In an office maintenance environment it is presumed that the person using the chemical is aware of the properties and hazards associated with the use of the chemical and can, therefore, be responsible for its cleanup. Major Chemical Spills Defined as a spill of potentially dangerous chemicals in quantities exceeding one liter or creates a condition that would be dangerous for many people. These spills are generally beyond the training, scope, capacity and resources of the individual users. Major spills are NOT to be cleaned up by the user or departments who have the chemicals, but are to be referred to the St. Paul or Minneapolis Fire Departments for response by trained and properly equipped hazardous material teams.

ISM HOME POLICY ISM GUIDING PRINCIPLES ... FOR MORE INFO Chemical Spills Proper response to chemical spills depends on the nature and amount of the material spilled. You may be able to clean it up yourself. General guidelines are listed below. First, you must understand the potential hazards of the material. Do you have the proper protective equipment and the necessary training for handling it? Can you clean it up without risking a potentially harmful exposure? Second, consider the amount of material spilled. Can you clean it up quickly and thoroughly? A good rule of thumb is that you should not attempt to clean up a spill if it will take you and a co-worker more than one hour. If you determine that you can clean it up safely and completely, use the appropriate spill kit or absorbent material, either for flammable solvents, acids, or caustics. Make sure the proper spill kits are available in your lab. Read the instructions inside the kit. The bottom line on spills is this: if the spill has potential for personal harm, can spread through air or water, or can cause personal contamination, call ext. 7911 for assistance. Whether you clean it up yourself or call for help, notify your supervisor. Remember, you must dispose of absorbed spilled material as hazardous waste.
