If a spill occurs, call the Spills Action Centre and your municipality. If there is personal injury, explosion or fire, or there is a risk of explosion or fire, call 911.
Avoid using saw dust to contain and clean-up a spill as strong oxidizing chemicals can combust and become a fire hazard. Have an emergency spill kit that is mounted on a ready-to-move pallet for fast and easy transportation to the spill site.
Emergency Spill Kit Should Contain:
- 4 bags of fine sand, cat litter, vermiculite, etc. (to absorb liquids)
- 4 straw bales for making a barrier
