Ignition sources a the scene of a hazardous materials spill include electronic device, static electricity from clothing, flashlights, and anything that produces a spark. A motor or engine can be an ignition source.
Inhalation is the most common route for exposure to a hazardous material. Other possible routes include:skin contactskin absorptioninjectioningestion (eating or drinking)
It is always a good idea to use original containers for storage of hazardous materials as much as possible.
it shouldn't be possible but if it is you probably need an ignition switch
An incident letter should be completed as soon as possible after the incident. The letter should start with the incident date, time, injured person, and contact information where the incident occurred. You should also include specific details from the incident, if hospitalization was required, and names of any witnesses.
The first line of defense against hazardous materials is engineering controls to keep the hazardous material from getting where people are.
Hazardous materials response (HAZMAT) team means an organized group of employees, designated by the employer, who are expected to perform work to handle and control actual or potential leaks or spills of hazardous substances requiring possible close approach to the substance. The team members perform responses to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances for the purpose of control or stabilization of the incident. A HAZMAT team is not a fire brigade nor is a typical fire brigade a HAZMAT team. A HAZMAT team, however, may be a separate component of a fire brigade or fire department.Reference: OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.120(a)(3)
The risks of hazardous materials, and the appropriate controls for those risks, depend on the nature of the hazardous material, how much is present, and the environment in which it is present. It is not possible to be more specific with such a general question. Encyclopedias have been written on this subject.
