Take immediate steps to secure the hazardous waste and contain it safely. Depending on your company's policy and the level of danger, contact the authorities, inform management of what happened, document your actions, apologize to those affected and offer any assistance that may be required. Take responsibility for the situation if it was caused by errors in your judgment and assure management that similar accidents won't happen in the future. Offering to take corrective measures proactively will ensure your job security.

Firstly, apologize for the incident and be forthcoming about the nature of the accident. Communicate clearly how it happened and what actions are being taken to contain and control any further exposure or damage. Offer an explanation that highlights your commitment to addressing the issue while reassuring stakeholders that all safety measures have been taken. Lastly, maintain an open communication loop to keep stakeholders informed of the situation and make sure everyone is aware of next steps going forward.
