EH&S, 15 minutes, self-paced
Spill Response
Covers the five substances the CDC associates with the most chemical injuries, what exposure to each does, and how to read the hazard information available to you: the four sections of the NFPA diamond and the sixteen standard sections of a safety data sheet. It then covers what an OSHA-required spill response plan must contain, the difference between an incidental spill and one you should not touch, and the PPE and spill kit materials used for containment.
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
