Question: 1 / 50

You are on patrol in the mechanical penthouse of a building when you notice a puddle forming from liquid leaking out of a drum. What do you do?

Call 911 and ask for the fire department to attend

Place barricades down, contain the spill and use a squeegee to push it down a drain

Make a note of the concern and submit an incident report at the end of your shift

Keep people away from the area and check WHMIS and MSDS information on site

In this scenario, the best option is to keep people away from the area and check the WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) information on site. This is because it is important to first assess the potential hazards and take necessary precautions before attempting to contain a spill, especially when dealing with chemicals. Calling 911 is not necessary as it may not be considered an emergency situation. Placing barricades and using a squeegee to push the spill down a drain may not be effective or safe if the substance is hazardous. Making a note of the concern and submitting an incident report later on may not address the immediate danger at hand.
