Instructions for emergencies such as major spills and emissions of hazardous chemicals
For environmentally hazardous activities, instructions for acting in
emergency situations must always be in place. The instructions aim to support how to act in emergencies, such as major spills and releases of environmentally and health-hazardous chemicals, to limit damage to the operation, employees, and environment.
The instruction should be supplemented with local instructions for the lab or building. Note that radioactive spills are handled according to KI's radiation safety guidelines.
