spills entering drains.
Large Spills:
Evacuate the hazard area of unprotected personnel. Wear appropriate
respirator and protective clothing. Shut off source leak if safe to do so.
Remove all ignition sources from the area and ensure area is sufficiently
ventilated. Avoid any spills entering drains. Dike and contain. Remove with
vacuum truck or pump to storage/salvage vessels.
Land Spill:
Clean up leaks/spills immediately and avoid seepage into drains to prevent
soil or water contamination. Notify local regional council authorities if
