Respond to a hazardous-material splash using the SDS
Practice the HazCom first-response order from OSHA 1910.1200 training. People are moved and flushed first; the SDS is consulted before anyone starts cleanup.
- Evacuate or isolate people from the immediate splash zone.
- Flush exposed skin or eyes immediately at the eyewash or shower if you were splashed.
- Identify the product from the label without entering the plume.
- Retrieve the matching safety data sheet.
- Follow remaining first-aid measures in SDS Section 4.
- Don the PPE listed in SDS Section 8.
- Follow the spill measures in SDS Section 6.
- Contain the remaining spill with the approved kit.
- Report the incident through the site emergency number.
