Subject: [DCHAS-L] How big of a spill before you call for help?
Someone asked me how large of a spill they could clean up themselves without calling our internal emergency spill team. I realize it depends a lot on what was spilled, but let's assume it is something nasty like methylene chloride or benzene. Is there
a good rule of thumb for how large of a spill (outside a hood) can be cleaned up safely?
