Triangle Region Solid Waste Planners Committee Household Hazardous Waste <br /> October 28, 1993 <br /> • SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES: <br /> Although containment techniques should prevent a release to the surrounding <br /> environment, a spill response plan determines specific actions. Prompt response <br /> to a spill of material is necessary. All Laidlaw personnel have received training <br /> on proper spill control methods. When a spill occurs, the following steps will <br /> occur in notifying other site employees: <br /> - The employee noticing the spill will notify other site employees by: <br /> voice or through use of air horns (3 blasts). <br /> All employees will stop their present work and secure their areas of <br /> responsibility. <br /> The Laidlaw Project Supervisor or the Health and Safety Supervisor will <br /> direct all public participants to a designated safe area if necessary. <br /> The Laidlaw Project Supervisor (or designee) and the Health and Safety <br /> Supervisor will identify the spilled material and determine the proper <br /> protective equipment needed. <br /> Simultaneously, Laidlaw personnel will be assigned to control the spill and <br /> prevent its spread or other complications. If necessary, personnel can be <br /> assigned to isolate storm drains and sewers. Personnel will don their <br /> protective equipment and take the appropriate steps for cleaning up the <br /> spill. Any incompatible materials located near the spill will be removed. <br /> A fire watch will be established and the Fire Department will be notified. <br /> - The Laidlaw Project Manager's determination that outside assistance is <br /> needed will prompt use of the emergency phone list. <br /> - Once the spill is contained and cleaned-up any response equipment used <br /> will be decontaminated, inspected, and put back in service when returned <br /> to an acceptable condition. <br /> - If necessary, Laidlaw can provide soil sampling to determine the extent <br /> of contamination of the area and possible remedial action. <br /> - All appropriate notification(s) and reports will be filed by the Laidlaw <br /> Project Supervisor and/or the Health and Safety Supervisor (DOT <br /> Hazardous Materials-Incident Report, National Response Center, Local <br /> Emergency Management Agencies, etc.) as required by local, state, or <br /> federal authorities. Phone numbers for these agencies will be included in <br /> the emergency phone number list os the site specific plan. <br /> If evacuation of the site and/or surrounding areas become necessary, it shall <br /> proceed as required by Police or Fire Department authorities. <br /> FIRE PLAN <br /> A fire at a waste collection site presents a serious hazard due to the potential catastrophic effects. <br /> Not only are there physical hazards of a fire, but there are also chemical hazards created during <br /> a combustion of chemical materials. To minimize the potential for a fire there will be no <br /> smoking or open flames in the general work area involving the handling of hazardous waste. <br /> Laidlaw Environmental Services <br /> 39 <br />
