A foreword to chemical spill…

Uncontrolled release of a hazardous chemical, either as a solid, liquid or a gas is referred as a chemical spill. Chemical spills may occur in a variety of workplaces, such as research & teaching laboratories, factories, facilities operations etc.

Dealing with chemical spills may vary with the type and volume of chemical involved. For example, spills in laboratories usually involve small volumes of a potentially large number of chemicals.
Despite the type or volume of hazardous chemical involved, all worksites must develop good handling procedures to reduce the potential for spills and should have a spill management protocol for responding to chemical spills.

Any person or organization responsible for a release or spill is required to report it to the authority when the amount reaches a federally-determined limit.
