SPILL CONTROL TRAINING By Faculty of Engineering, Safety Unit

Content Aim Introduction Legal Requirement Spill Preparation Spill Response After the spill Video General Overview of PPE Demonstrations Quiz Q & A The Scope of this presentation is shown on this slide.

AIM To highlight general chemical spill control; To help laboratory personnel design an effective spill control plan for their laboratory; and To educate laboratory personnel with step-by-step instructions for spill cleanup

INTRODUCTION Chemical spills are classified as one of the chemical hazards. Despite safe practice in laboratory, incident resulting in the release of chemicals will still occur. Precaution must be taken against physical injury, ill health, diseases, death or even property damage. As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability.

INTRODUCTION (Continued) Causes of chemical spills are as follows: Inappropriate handling techniques; Inappropriate storage containers; Damaged storage containers; Uncontrolled access to chemical storage; Lack of chemical-related training; and Lack of supervision. As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 5

INTRODUCTION (Continued) Why chemicals are dangerous? Chemicals can cause: - Burns - Adverse health effects - Permanent disabilities - Death Sometimes problems occur immediately (Acute effect) Others may happen after years of exposure (Chronic effect). As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 6

INTRODUCTION (Continued) Routes of Entry There are 4 ways that chemicals can enter your body. Absorption (skin & eye contact) Inhalation Ingestion (swallowing) Injection As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 7

Legal Requirement Environmental Protection and Management (Hazardous Substances) Regulations – National Environment Agency Rg (22) - “…any person authorised to transport or store hazardous substances shall establish and keep up-to-date an adequate emergency action plan to deal with any spillage, leakage, release, accident or emergency which may arise from the transport or storage of the hazardous substance.” Guidelines on prevention and control of chemical hazards – Ministry of Manpower Pg (97) - “…Emergency procedures should be established so that the source of release could be promptly rectified, the area of contamination could be contained and properly decontaminated.” As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 8

Spill Preparation An emergency plan should covers: Course of actions during emergency (e.g. evacuation plans, instructions for cleaning and disposal) Emergency contact; Training; Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); Clean up equipment (e.g. types, locations, quantities, inventory…); Clean up materials (e.g. types, locations, quantities, inventory…); First Aid supplies Source of information (e.g. MSDS) To be in place before a spill happens As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 9

Do not neglect your own safety!! Spill Response Don’t panic. If you are the person who discovered the chemical spill, you’re in charge until help arrives. Do not neglect your own safety!! As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 10

Spill Response (Continued) For general chemical spills: Identify what you saw (e.g. container, fire, foaming, colour,etc) Get help (e.g. inform PI / Lab Personnel / Faculty Safety Personnel / campus security @ 6874 1616) Seal off the area to prevent re-entry and alert others As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 11

Spill Response (Continued) For general chemical spills: 4. Look for injuries (e.g. injured worker. Do not try to retrieve a person from the spill area unless you are protected) 5. Identify the hazards (e.g. MSDS, signs and labels) 6. Prepare a plan of action (e.g. waiting for help, attend to injured, shutting off the valve, turn off ignition sources in presence of flammables if safe to do so) As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 12

Spill Response (Continued) For general chemical spills: 7. Increase ventilation in laboratory (e.g. turn on fume hood and open sash fully) via emergency buttons. Note: Call ext 1515 to reset the ventilation. As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 13

Spill Response (Continued) 8. Close sash if spill is in hood 9. Clean up the spill if you are trained to do so and you have the appropriate equipment available (Do not touch, smell, taste. *Always assess wind direction) As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 14

Spill Response (Continued) 10. Get proper equipment and materials (e.g. PPE, sorbent materials) - if you don’t know what you’re dealing with, wear the maximum protection for gases, liquids, solids, etc… - if you know the material and its properties, select protection for handling spills (e.g. based on MSDS) As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 15

Spill Response (Continued) 11. Contain the spill (Stopping the source and stopping the spread) - stopping the source includes: Closing a valve; Shutting down a pump to stop flow; Putting “bandage” around a leaking hose; Applying packing to a joint / valves; or Positioning of punctured container. - stopping the spread includes: Building a barrier around the spill; Make a flow channel; Use of clay granules / sorbent sheets or pillows; or Shut down ventilation if material in gas/vapours/mist As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 19

After the spill Place the used sorbents (for controlling the spill) in a container that can safely hold and store the spilled material. Remember that absorbed materials have the same properties and hazards as the original spilled materials. Safely dispose all disposable coveralls, gloves and respirators. Decontaminate all non-disposable items (e.g. scrapers, shovels, thongs, protective clothing, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 21

After the spill (Continued) 5. Arrange for pick up by licensed toxic industrial waste collector as soon as possible. 6. Review what happened to prevent reoccurrence. 7. No matter how small the spill, keep a record of what happened. 8. Make sure that supplies (e.g. first aid, spill control kit) are replaced immediately. As a responsible employer and a world class educational institution, it is NUS’ responsibility to ensure the environment in NUS is safe for our staff and students. It is therefore our aim to prevent injuries and accidents. And if accidents do happen, the organization should be able to respond quickly and effectively to bring the situation under control. This would minimise damage and harm to property and most importantly, the save lives. I will be covering three areas in this presentation: Occupational Safety and Health, Emergency Management and Environmental sustainability. 22
