After containment, which action completes the spill response according to standard procedures?

• A. Notify EHS.
• B. Use spill kit.
• C. Evacuate the area if needed.
• D. Dispose according to SDS.

Answer: (D)

After containment, disposal according to the SDS is the step that completes a spill response. The Safety Data Sheet provides the exact waste classification, packaging, labeling, and any required treatment or regulatory steps for the chemical. Following those guidelines ensures hazardous waste is handled safely, minimizes environmental impact, and keeps you compliant with regulations. While notifying EHS, using a spill kit, and evacuating if needed are important safety actions during a spill, the final action is to dispose of the waste as directed by the SDS.
