Spill Response

​​​If the MPW box breaks or leaks in the lab, it is the responsibility of the lab personnel to follow the appropriate cleanup procedure. You must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to clean the spill. Proper PPE includes gloves, lab coat, and eye protection with respiratory protection as needed.


Contact both the NIH Division of Fire and Rescue Services (911 or 9-911) and your Health and Safety Specialist at (301) 496-2346.
