A spill protocol is a formal procedure that guides workers through safe spill management. It is included in WHS training, SDS documentation, and emergency response plans.
A Standard Spill Protocol Includes:
- Identify the liquid
- Assess risk to people and environment
- Wear PPE
- Stop the leak
- Contain the spill
- Clean and dispose of waste
- Report and document the incident
A clear spill protocol ensures consistent, safe, and compliant spill response in any organisation.
