What Is An Emergency Spill?

Under the wrong circumstances, any spill can be considered an emergency.

OSHA defines an emergency spill as:

• One in which there are high levels of harmful substances that could injure workers

• One that could cause a fire or explosion

• One that significantly impacts air quality in the facility

• One that requires workers to evacuate the area

Color Your Cabinets

Be sure hazardous materials are protected in flammable safety cabinets to prevent accidental fires, explosions, chemical burns or other damage. Color coding flammable safety cabinets helps easily identify contents at a glance, which makes this solution a best practice in many facilities.
