Immediate Actions

1. Stay on the roadway.
2. Turn off the vehicle and remove ignition sources.
3. Exit the vehicle and move to a safe location (out of traffic, upwind of spills/fire). DO NOT reenter the vehicle to get shipping documents.
4. If at one of the on-site fueling tanks, push the red emergency shut-off button near the southwest corner of the tank, ensure the spill is stopped, and if safe to do so, deploy sorbent materials from the blue spill response barrel near the fire extinguisher.
5. Report the event using the contacts above and by providing the following:
   • Nature of event (single-/multiple-vehicle accident, injuries, hazmat spill, fire, etc.)
   • Type of assistance needed (request the fire department for all hazmat leaks, spills, or unknown condition of cargo)
   • Other helpful details (type/quantity of cargo, type and condition of vehicle, leaking fluids, etc.).
6. Help the injured (if qualified and safe to do so).
7. Stay to brief incoming responders.
