Chemical spill kits should be maintained in areas where chemicals are stored or used. Having the appropriate spill cleanup materials on hand will allow for a proper and safe response to incidents. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) or supervisor to equip the laboratory, shop or work area with appropriate cleanup materials.

The decision to initiate clean-up activities on spilled chemicals will depend on the specific situation, surrounding environment, and available resources. Review the Chemical Spill Management webpage for guidance on cleanup activities and chemical spill kits.
