Hazardous materials / unknown odors / chemicals

All employees should be familiar with MSDS’s (Material Safety Data Sheets) for hazardous chemicals in their area. MSDS’s are available through the on-line laboratory Safety System (LSS), MSDS manuals at the shop/unit, and by contacting Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S). Do not attempt to clean up hazardous materials spills if you are not training and equipped to do so. Call EH&S for advice; call 911 if an emergency.

Note: Employees may need to evacuate the building if their is an emergency involving hazardous materials. (See Building evacuation)
