In order to maintain job security, it's important to take quick and decisive action should an unexpected incident occur. First and foremost, any exposed hazardous waste needs to be contained as quickly as possible in order to minimize the risk of injury or contamination. This may require calling in additional personnel or contracting other companies to help with containment and cleanup.

Secondly, all affected parties need to be informed of the incident immediately. This includes employees that may have been exposed to the hazardous material, local health and safety authorities, and potentially anyone else who could be impacted by the spillage.

Finally, a comprehensive risk assessment should be carried out both during and after the emergency response period has ended. Although this assessment can't undo what's already happened; it will help determine if any further steps need to be taken (like additional testing or monitoring) in order for everyone involved - including your company - to remain within safe parameters.

You must take immediate steps to contain the situation and prevent any further contamination. You should contact an experienced hazmat team to assist you in assessing the damages and cleanup, while also contacting your insurance provider to report the incident. Your company should also evaluate potential legal liabilities regarding the spill. To preserve your job security, you should work closely with all involved parties and take extra measures to adhere to all safety regulations while performing any required remediation work.
