The management of spills will differ depending on the quantity and type of material involved. Table 3 outlines the Incident Ratings assigned in the CEMP as they relate to spill incident reporting.

Sections 4.1 to 4.5 of this ESRP outline the relevant spill response procedures for the different spill size/type. Figure 3 provides a graphical representation of these procedures.
4.1 SMALL SPILLS OF LESS THAN 20L
Small spills have been defined as those less than 20L since this is the volume which triggers contact through the Auckland Council Pollution Hotline. Spills of this volume are deemed “insignificant” incidents in accordance with Table 11 of the Project CEMP, provided that they are contained within established controls and are not released from site. They will be managed on site as set out below:
• Based on visual inspection from a safe distance, estimate volume of spill and identify substance. If access is av ailable protect any nearby drains to prevent spill from entering.
• Refer to SDS and determine if it is safe to contain and clean up without specialist help. If it is safe to do so put on appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), stop the spill if possible and use on site spill kit to contain and clean up spillage.
