If a spill occurs, the proper cleanup method is to:

• A. Call a supervisor and wait
• B. Clean up with a spill cleanup kit on-site
• C. Pour into the trash
• D. Ignore it until someone notices

Answer: (B)

Spill response priority is immediate containment and cleanup using the on-site spill cleanup kit. This approach gives you the right absorbents, containment materials, and disposal guidance to quickly absorb and gather the liquid, prevent it from spreading to floors, drains, or equipment, and reduce slip and exposure hazards. Using the kit also supports proper disposal of contaminated absorbents and waste according to safety and environmental rules. Waiting for a supervisor delays control of the hazard, pouring the liquid into the trash is unsafe for contaminated spills, and ignoring it allows ongoing risk to people and the facility.
