    Spill Control

    Spill control kits should be clearly labeled, adequately stocked and stored near chemical storage.  The kit typically includes gloves, brooms, shovels, absorbents (such as booms, pigs or sand), and waste disposal containers.  Spills should be cleaned up using dry clean up methods: apply absorbent, sweep up, and dispose of properly.
