October 2, 2009, Newsletter Issue #186: Hazardous Material Spills


1

Tip of the Week


If you deal with hazardous material in your warehouse, dock, or other material handling operation, you'll naturally want to have a supply of items that will help contain hazmat spills, protect workers doing the cleaning, and warn others away from a hazmat spill area. Spill containment kits that prevent the spread of liquids or solvents are a good start, but you should also purchase hazmat-absorbent brooms and even absorbent "socks" which can be used to safely gather spilled material. When purchasing these hazmat absorbent items, be sure to purchase those listed as good for "unknown" materials, adding an extra layer of peace of mind when you need to contain a spill. Never use an ordinary broom or other janitorial items to clean a hazmat spill, especially one that involves solvents and caustics. A non-hazmat-absorbent cleaning tool can spread contaminants, be destroyed by spilled solvents, or fail to completely clean the contaminated area.
