Spill Control and Response
For many spills, the correct response is evacuation and calling X3500. If the spill is not immediately hazardous (corrosives, for example) this spill video offers some good advice on how to respond. Druckenmiller Hall's spill response cart is in Corridor 55 near the MSDS archives
