What To Do In Case Of Hazardous Materials Release

If a hazardous material is released or spilled near you and you are neither a user nor knowledgeable about hazardous materials: Call Police immediately. Move away from the release area, informing others as you go. If you are a hazardous material user and you cause a release of a hazardous material, you should already know the emergency procedures for cleaning up a hazardous material spill. All campus hazardous materials users should be trained on proper use and storage of hazardous materials, including proper procedures for preventing spills and emergency procedures when a spill occurs. If you have not yet been trained and don’t know what to do: Leave the area and warn others. When you are at a safe location, call Police immediately
