Step 5. Clean up: Use spill absorbents to clean up small spills. Large spills
can be pumped into containers. Hazardous spills should be handled by the
appropriate spill respondents.
Step 6. Dispose responsibly: Contaminated materials should be disposed of
safely. Never put hazardous waste (oily rags, absorbents, solvents, etc.)
into normal waste collection bins. Dry spills may have useable,
uncontaminated materials that can be put back into storage containers.
Step 7. Restock and review: Replace all used clean-up materials with new,
unused products. Assess why the spill occurred and how to prevent future
spills.
