Exam 3 Terms Flashcards
Acetic spill clean up
Wear gloves and safety goggles.
Open doors and windows.
• For hydrofluoric acid keep calcium gluconate gel handy.
• Use cat litter to surround the spill.
• Pour excess sodium-bicarbonate on and around the acid until after bubbling stops, to neutralise.
• Use the plastic dust pan to scoop the acid-damp material into a plastic bucket.
• Re-sprinkle more sodium-bicarbonate on the spill area to ensure neutralising, and scoop up.
• Wash the affected area with excess water.
• Clean up and leave area dry.
• Dispose of neutralized liquid down the drain.
• Dispose of neutralized damp solid as chemical waste.
• Report to supervisor
