Chemical Spill Training Module 8 Activity
In this activity, you will focus on spill prevention by reviewing how a chemical is handled, stored, and transferred in your work area. You will use the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to understand the recommended conditions, then compare those recommendations against what you actually see in your workplace. This exercise will help you spot potential spill risks before they become incidents.
Before you begin:
- Choose a chemical that is in the largest container you handle, move, or work around.
- Locate the SDS for that chemical (held in your workplace’s SDS folder or system).
- Be prepared to inspect the storage area and, if possible, observe a transfer task involving this chemical.
