do not induce vomiting unless advised to do so by a reliableauthority; provide emergency medical personnel with the MSDS for thepoisonous product. If the victim was overcome by an unknownpoison and has vomited, provide the ambulance technicians with asample of the vomit; always ensure that the victim receives medical attention, even ifthe exposure seems minor.• Fires: The immediate response depends on the size of the fire.Laboratory personnel should attempt to extinguish a fire only if it isclearly safe to do so. Suspected fires: All staff should familiarise themselves with thelocations of the fire alarms and evacuation routes in the areas thatthey occupy. Anyone discovering smoke, a strong smell of burningor any smell of an unusual nature, should immediately:Ïnform security personnel;Älert the building emergency warden, building service personor building director. Known fires:¨ Shout “FIRE!” loudly and repeatedly to give the alert;¨ Activate the fire alarm;¨ Telephone the nearest fire department from a safe location bydialling the national emergency number;¨ Evacuate the premises in a swift, orderly fashion using thestairways and/or fire escapes, but NOT the elevators, andfollow the instructions of evacuation monitors;¨ Inform the building emergency warden of the location,magnitude and nature (e.g. electrical) of the fire, the openevacuation routes, individuals requiring assistance, and otherpertinent details. Once outside the building, move away fromthe doors to enable others to exit. Clothing fires: If your clothing should catch fire, it is important notto run, as this would provide additional air to support the flames.Remember the “Stop, Drop and Roll” rule:¨ Stop where you are;¨ Drop to the floor; and¨ Roll to smother the flames.
As soon as the flames are extinguished, go to the nearestemergency shower to cool burned areas with copiousamounts of water. If someone else is on fire:Ïmmediately immobilise the victim and force him/her to roll onthe ground to extinguish the flames;Ässist in smothering the flames, using whatever is immediatelyavailable, such as a fireproof blanket or clothing;¨Give appropriate first aid (refer to sub-section on first aidabove).• Hazardous chemical spills: In the event of a spill of a hazardous(volatile, toxic, corrosive, reactive or flammable) chemical, thefollowing procedures should be followed: If there is fire, pull the nearest alarm. If you are unable to controlor extinguish a fire, follow the fire evacuation procedures, asdescribed in section Fire and Gas Safety (sub-sectionEvacuations); If you attempt to stop the spillage from continuing, make sure it issafe to do so and make sure you are wearing the appropriatePPE; If the spill is in a laboratory or chemical storeroom:¨ Evacuate all personnel from the room;¨ Be sure the hood/local exhaust is turned on;¨ If flammable liquids are spilled, disconnect the electricity tosources of ignition if possible;¨ Call the building emergency telephone number to requestadditional assistance if you cannot manage the clean-upyourself; If the spill is in a corridor or other public passageway:¨ Evacuate all people from the area and close off the area tokeep others out;¨ Call the emergency telephone number to have the air systemin the area shut down (to prevent contamination of otherareas) and to request additional assistance.Note: More detailed information on spill clean-up action isavailable in Appendix C - The management and interpretationof Material Safety Data Sheets.75
