In such cases cleaning and sterilizing becomes very important. Absorb or neutralize liquids. Sweep solids into a container. Ventilate area to dispel vapours if required. Wash affected area with soap and water or detergent.
All materials used in cleanup, including absorbed liquids are to be disposed as hazardous waste.
Label waste appropriately. If proper equipment is not available to safely contain and decontaminate a spill - evacuate the area and contact the appropriate personnel. Section 4.3 of the University of Toronto Health and Safety Policy Manual details chemical spill procedures . The disposal of hazardous chemicals is regulated by Ontario environmental legislation. Generators of hazardous wastes are responsible for properly packaging and labelling such wastes.
