I ncident al release - a release that can be safely controlled at the
tim e of the release and doesnt have the potential to becom e an
uncontrolled release.
Exam ple of a situation that results in an incidental release:
A tanker truck is receiving a load of hazardous liquid w hen a leak
occurs. The driver know s the only hazard from the liquid is m inor skin
irritation. The em ployer has trained the driver on procedures and
provided equipm ent to use for a release of this quantity. The driver puts
on skin protection and stops the leak. A spill kit is used to contain,
absorb, and pick up the spilled m aterial for disposal.
Limit ed act ion - action necessary to:
Secure an operation during em ergency responses
OR
Prevent an incident from increasing in severity.
Exam ples include shutting dow n processes and closing em ergency

Uncont rolled release - a release w here significant safety and
health risks could be created. R eleases of hazardous substances that
are either incidental or couldnt create a safety or health hazard (i.e., fire,
explosion or chem ical exposure) arent considered to be uncontrolled
releases.
Exam ples of conditions that could create a significant safety and health
risk:
Large-quantity releases
Sm all-releases that could be highly toxic
Potentially contam inated individuals arriving at hospitals
A irborne exposures that could exceed a W ISH A perm issible exposure
lim it or a published exposure lim it and em ployees arent adequately
trained or equipped to control the release.
Exam ple of an uncontrolled release:
A forklift driver knocks over a container of a solvent-based liquid,
releasing the contents onto the w arehouse floor. The driver has been
trained to recognize the vapor is flam m able and m oderately toxic w hen
inhaled. The driver hasnt been trained or provided appropriate
equipm ent to address this type of spill. In this situation, it isnt safe for
the driver to attem pt a response. The driver needs to notify som eone of
the release so an em ergency response can be initiated.
Workpl ace -
A fixed facility
OR
A tem porary location (such as a traffic corridor)
OR
Locations w here em ployees respond to em ergencies.
