• Identify the hazards using the ERG, but remember that this guide only provides the
  most important and worst-case scenario information. As more material-specific
  information becomes available, the response should be adjusted.
• Assess the situation keeping the following in mind
  o Is there a fire, spill or leak?
  o What are the weather conditions?
  o What is the terrain like?
  o Who/what is at risk?
  o What actions should be taken?
  o What can be done immediately?
• Obtain help from qualified personnel and notify the HAZMAT team (Station 7).
• Enter the area only when wearing appropriate PPE.
• Continually reassess the situation for any changes.
• Do not walk into or touch the spilled material. Avoid inhalation of fumes, smoke and
  vapors – do not assume gases are harmless because of a lack of smell.
• Use caution when handling empty containers – may still present hazards until they
  are cleaned of all residues
