4. Spill Management
When preventative controls have been implemented and an accidental spill occurs, the following steps should be followed to
prevent further spillage and to contain and clean-up the spill:

    stop the spill (shutdown equipment or push emergency stop). Do not move the equipment until it is safe to do so.
    identify the spilled substance (distillate, oil, grease, solvent, paints, cleaning agents)
    contain the spill (use clay, rags or other suitable material to contain/bund the spill)
    secure the spill area (evacuate persons, extinguish all smoking or flame producing materials, shutdown operating equipment
    in proximity to the spill)
    notify the Site Manager (report all spills to management, irrespective of the size of the spill)
    place absorbent material over the spill to minimise infiltration to the underlying soil/strata. DO NOT USE WATER
    OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO WASH THE SPILL AREA UNTIL THE SPILL HAS BEEN
    REMOVED
    repair equipment at spill location if possible if mobile plant/equipment is the source of the spill. The movement of
    plant/equipment has the potential to spread the spill and contaminate other areas
    move equipment to allow the removal of the spill
    remove the spill by shovels and/or earthmoving equipment
    dispose of the spill in an acceptable manner and dispose of off the Site at an approved, licensed waste disposal facility
    (under no circumstances should materials containing the spill be disposed of on the Site
    in the case of major spills, the Department of Environmental and Heritage Protection (EHP) should be notified and
    professional advice/assistance sought regarding clean up operations




5. Reporting
All spills which occur should be reported to the Site Manager. The following information should be reported:

    date and time of the spill
    approximate location of spill
    substance spilled
    quantity spilled
    actions taken to contain and control spill
    method of disposal
    person responsible for managing and removing the spill
