Post-Spill Evaluation

A written spill response report is prepared at the conclusion of clean-up operations.  The report includes, at a minimum, the following information:

• date of spill incident
• cause of incident
• spill response actions
• any outside agencies involved, including their incident reports
• lessons learned or suggested improvements

The spill area is inspected to ensure the area has been satisfactorily cleaned.  If the Incident Safety Officer, in consultation with environmental protection staff, deems necessary, the use of soil, water, and air sampling is utilized in this determination as necessary.  The root cause of the spill is examined and corrective steps taken to ensure the engineering and control measures in place have performed as required.  If alternative precautions or measures are needed, they are made available and implemented.
All durable equipment placed into use during cleanup activities is decontaminated as specified in the Decontamination chapter of this HASP for future utilization.  All spill response equipment and supplies are replenished as required.
