Chemical Spill Kit Program
Note: EHS Chemical Spill Kits are only available for
purchase
by University of Delaware Faculty, Researchers, Staff and Students for use
in University of Delaware owned laboratories.
The majority of laboratory chemical spills can be cleaned up by
lab personnel. In order to facilitate the efficient clean up of these
spills, the Department of Environmental Health & Safety has developed
a universal chemical spill clean-up kit. This kit is compact and
will not take up valuable research space. The supplies are simple and
universal for most chemical spills. Even though the kit is user friendly,
training is still required in order to use it. After purchase, DEHS will
provide training to your laboratory group. The purchase of the
University of Delaware Chemical Spill Kits is confined to University staff
and employees.
Restocking or replacing existing Chemical Spill Kits will
conform to a uniform standard approved by the Department of Environmental Health & Safety. Refer to the Laboratory
Chemical Spill Clean-Up Procedures. These procedures were developed to
give guidance to knowledgeable researchers on the safe and
effective way to clean up small laboratory chemical spills
After a Laboratory Group purchases the initial Chemical Spill
Kit, the
Department of Environmental Health & Safety furnishes replacement
supplies at no cost to the lab. The initial cost of the kit is
$80.00. To purchase Chemical Spill Kits go to UD
Webforms,
log in and look under Description for "Laboratory Chemical Spill Kit". If
you need replacement supplies please e-mail Jane Frank .
The purchase of the
University of Delaware Chemical Spill Kits is confined to University staff
and employees. If you have any questions regarding Chemical Spill Kits, please feel free
