What are the three C's of spill management?

• A. Contain, Calibrate and Clean
• B. Control, Contain and Clean up
• C. Control and Clean
• D. Contain, Control and Clean up

Answer: (B)

In spill management, the first priority is to stop the release at its source, which is the Control step. Stopping the flow minimizes how much material continues to escape and reduces immediate hazards. Once the release is halted, you move to Contain, using barriers, absorbents, and similar measures to keep the spill from spreading to new areas, drains, or water sources. After the spill is both stopped and contained, you proceed to Clean up, which involves removing the spilled material, disposing of it properly, and decontaminating affected surfaces so the area is safe again. This order minimizes exposure and environmental impact and makes cleanup more effective; attempting to clean up without first controlling and containing can allow further spread and complicate the cleanup.
