Leakage/Spillage of Chemicals and Chemical Wastes

Leakage/Spillage Incidents

• Formulate emergency response measures and brief all staff concerned of the measures; ready with dry sand, sawdust and other materials to tackle leaks.

• Handle leaks properly. If the leak is a flammable chemical or is hazardous to human and the leakage is serious, help from the Fire Services Department should be sought promptly and the Environmental Protection Department should be informed as soon as possible.

• Do not use water to wash away leaks and let the contaminated water go down the drain. Instead, use proper materials such as dry fine sand or absorbent cloth to clean up the leaks.

• Put materials contaminated with chemicals into sealed proper disposal bags and handle them as chemical wastes
