Spills and Leaks

Spills and Leaks - Radiation, Biohazards or Chemical Agent

Primary Response by Community Members

If you cannot control or contain the spill through individual department procedures, dial Campus Security @ 705-748-1333.

Localized Minor Chemical Spill/Leak 
Your department should have control procedures that cover: evacuation of the immediate area; containment, decontamination, and control ; appropriate personal protective equipment; incident documentation and investigation, and notification of the Environmental Health and Safety Officer.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with your department's individual procedure now.

Major Chemical Spill/Leak 
If the spill/leak exceeds the capacity of your department's individual procedures or if you are in doubt as to how to handle the spill:

  • Evacuate the immediate area.
  • Dial 705-748-1333 and inform Campus Security of:
    • exact location of spill/leak
    • name and nature of chemical, its hazards.
    • volume or extent of leak
    • any person(s) who may have been contaminated
  • Campus Security will then notify the appropriate internal and external agencies.
