Chemical Spill
Four-step Emergency Procedure
www.jst.umn.edu
1. Evacuate and Aid• Leave spill area and assist others in leaving• Remove victims to fresh air; remove contaminated clothing/flush any
exposed areas with excess water
2. Confine• Without endangering yourself, close doors, isolate the spill area, and
prevent entrance
3. Report• Call EHS during working hours or 911 after hours• State your name, phone, and location; describe the emergency,
contents of the spill, injuries, etc.• EHS will advise you what to do
4. Secure and Clean• Block off entrances, lock doors, put up warning tape/signs on all
entrances• Follow instructions from EHS on how to clean the spill

Four-step Procedure
www.jst.umn.edu
Chemical Spill Response
Example from a Learning Experience Report
(LER)
Chemical Spill Response
After working hours, a 100mL bottle of trifluoroacetic acid was dropped. It broke, splashing on the floor and cabinets.
The overwhelming odor caused a coworker to 911 and say, "Call AHERPS.” The dispatcher contacted the AHERPS employee who determined the spill was not very dangerous could be resolved with the researchers, not 911's resources.
The researchers wore masks, quarantined the spill with the spill barriers, neutralized the trifluoroacetic acid with baking soda and water as described in the SDS, and opened all fume hoods.
28
Chemical Spill Response
The AHERPS employee followed up with the incident approximately 15-20 min later to assess the current situation.• No significant chronic effects, as the spill was neutralized
and cleaned up quickly. • No need for county emergency response personal (fire,
police, etc.).• DEHS person would pick up the spill clean up supplies the
next day.
29
To prevent dropping a chemical bottle: 1. Don’t hurry – take your time. 2. Securely hold bottles, using two hands for large or heavy
containers.
Spill Kits
Where are they:• Kolthoff - northwest hallway near 681 • Smith - hallway by the east elevator, sub-
basement level• In individual labs
A reminder: Do NOT use spill pillows for HF, radioactive material, or mercury spills.

Fire extinguishers everywhere
The fire extinguishers are designed to put out or control small fires. It is important that we equip facilities with the proper fire extinguishers as part of fire protection plan.
www.jst.umn.edu
Water is one of the most commonly used extinguishing agents for type A fires. Always you can recognize an APW by its large silver container. They are filled about two-thirds of the way with ordinary water, pressurized with air.
APWs are designed for Class A (wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and certain plastics) fires only.
Air-pressurized water extinguishers
www.jst.umn.edu
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers
This type of extinguisher is filled with Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a non-flammable gas under extreme pressure. These extinguishers put out fires by displacing oxygen, You can recognize this type of extinguisher by its hard horn and absent pressure gauge.
CO2 extinguishers are designed for Class B and C (flammable liquid and electrical) fires only.
www.jst.umn.edu
Dry Chemical extinguishers
Dry chemical extinguishers put out fires by coating the fuel with a thin layer of fire retardant powder, separating the fuel from the oxygen. The powder also works to interrupt the chemical reaction, which makes these extinguishers extremely effective.
Dry Chemical extinguishers will have a label indicating they may be used on class A, B, and/or C fires.

www.jst.umn.edu
First aid for burns
• For minor burns, soak in cold water (not ice water) until the pain stops (5 min+)
• If the burn covers a large area of the body, apply cool wet dressings to that area
• Do not break any blisters • Once the pain is subdued, apply antibiotic
ointment or first aid gel to the area and bandage
• If necessary, seek medical attention for minor burns.
51
Burns: MedlinePlus Medical EncyclopediaDEHS
www.jst.umn.edu
First aid for burns
• Minor burns will usually heal without further treatment. However, if a second-degree burn covers an area more than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or if it is located on the hands, feet, face, groin, buttocks, or a major joint, treat the burn as a major burn
• For severe burns call 911 immediately and do not attempt to remove charred clothing
