1. Any spillage of a hazardous chemical or radioactive material is to be reported IMMEDIATELY to Safety & Security at extension 7777.

2. When reporting the incident, be specific about the nature of the involved material and the exact location. Safety and Security may contact the Perry Township Fire Department at 911.

3. The key person on-site should evacuate the affected area AT ONCE and seal it off to prevent further contamination of other areas until the arrival of Security and/or official personnel.

4. Anyone who may be contaminated by the spill is to avoid contact with others as much as possible. Remain in the vicinity and give names to Security. Required first aid and clean up by specialized authorities should be started at once.
