Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Place cans in bags or open pail until pressure has dissipated. Wipe affected areas with white spirit or turpentine substitute and allow to dry. When dry wash affected areas with soapy water to remove any remnants of WD-40. If white spirit cannot be applied, layer with sawdust or absorbent material. Allow to dry and then sweep/shovel into refuse bins and dispose of via public or private waste disposal.
In the event of large roadside transport spillages resulting from collision or overturned vehicles, vehicles must be kept away from contaminated roads or other surfaces. Affected areas should be covered in layers of sawdust or similarly absorbent material. Do not wash into drains, waterways or soil courses. Later remove absorbent material to waste disposal site.
Do not wash WD-40 contamination into drains and waterways.
Wipe affected areas with white spirit or turpentine substitute and allow to dry. When dry wash affected areas with soapy water. Layer with sawdust or absorbent material. Sweep/shovel into refuse bins.
