A chemical spill is an uncontrolled release of a hazardous chemical in a solid, liquid, or gas form. These spills should be minimized as much as possible. In the event of a spill, a quick response with a stocked chemical spill kit will help mitigate additional harm to personnel, equipment, and work/class space.Taking into account safety when handling these materials and knowing how to react if something should occur can help with immediate response to a spill.
