All laboratories should have:
  • A written, laboratory specific emergency plan.
  • Materials to adequately contain and clean up a spill.
  • Documented laboratory specific training in spill response for all personnel.  The responsibility for assuring this training is performed rests with the Principal Investigator.  If requested, EH&S will assist in devising a training curriculum which will meet all regulatory requirements.
