You are working for a medium to large sized warehousing and distribution organization. You have recently been visited by the Ministry of Labour for a workplace inspection. The Ministry has written your company an order to prepare a chemical emergency and spill response plan$/$protocol$.$

Your company currently has approximately $100,000$ litres of solvents, corrosives and other industrial chemicals stored in racking and in designated and segregated floor space divided by the nature of the chemicals. Almost all the chemicals are in wrapped pallets with boxes containing $4-3\mathrm{.}6$ litre bottles of chemical. There are a few bulk tanks$/$totes of chemicals, but the majority are stored as they are received palletized and wrapped in shipping plastic.

The primary type of chemical you are warehousing phneol for use in industry with a max capacity of $40,000$ litres and the largest congregation of it is in a palletized area adjacent to your loading dock where $30,000$ litres are stored for quick shipping and distribution.

The Ministry noted that several workers recounted incidences where a container was punctured by the forks of a forklift truck when being received or shipped, or where a pallet had nearly fallen off the racking systems in place for storage.

Your plan$/$protocol must adequately outline your company$$s plan for:

$$ Emergency and Spill Priorities

$$ Source and type of emergency information, resources and contacts required,

$$ Training required for on$-$site personnel: Type of training $($awareness$,$ mitigation, clean$-$up$)$ and identify who should have training,

$$ PPE, Spill Equipment, and where it should be stored and maintained for Small $($less than $1$L$),$ Medium$(1-10$L$)$ and Large Spills $(10-100$L or more$),$ and

$$ Any waste considerations post clean$-$up$.$
