 INTRODUCTION

You manage chemical products on your sites. The use, storage and handling of these products present risks that could lead to an accident. You'd like to know how to manage this type of event.

An accident can have an impact on both people (personnel, neighbors, etc.) and property (equipment, buildings, etc.). Depending on the type and severity of the accident, there are several levels of action to be considered, from the moment the accident occurs to the intervention of external emergency services. This fact sheet will help you to be better prepared to deal with the first few minutes after an accident, by answering the following questions in particular:

  • What to do after an accident?

  • What are the first steps to take?

  • How do you prepare your staff?
