| Spill Procedures | Protect against identified hazards through use of prescribed personal protection equipment, proper work and hygiene practices. Limit foot and vehicular traffic to minimize mechanical agitation and dispersion. Employ a vacuum, equipped with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, for clean-up of the spill material. If no vacuum is available, use a broom and shovel to collect excess powder in the area. Recover uncontaminated material for use. Vacuum or sweep remaining material keeping dust to a minimum. Residual material should then be cleared, utilizing the process of wet sweeping, to avoid dust generation. |
