What will be an ideal response?


The standard covering hazardous waste operations in construction is 29 CFR 1926.65 and is often referred to as HAZWOPER. HAZWOPER gives organizations two options for responding to a chemical spill. The first is to evacuate all employees in the event of a spill and to call in professional emergency response personnel. Employers who use this option must have an emergency action plan (EAP) in place. The second option is to respond internally. Employers using this must have an emergency response plan in place.
