Dealing with Hazardous Spills
Description
Hazardous materials are a part of many work situations. They can be found in many
different types of facilities and on many job sites… frommanufacturing and
construction to retail and office environments. Some organizations must deal with
hazardous materials as part of their daily business and have detailed plans and highly
trained workers to handle a sudden spill. But other facilities only must handle these
materials infrequently and may not have given much thought to what must be done in
