  • The physical and health hazards of the spilled material are known.
  • Employee(s) have the training or expertise necessary to proceed safely.
  • The necessary spill response supplies and equipment are available.
  • The necessary safety/personal protective equipment are available.

If the answer to one or more of these questions is no, the area will be evacuated, and assistance from the New London Fire Department and/or a Spill Response Contractor will be requested.
