Create a 6 pages page paper that discusses environmental health and safety interaction of hazardous materials. Hazardous situations or incidences require a diversity of activities for effective containment. Key to this is that there should be a single person in command of the whole situation responsible for controlling the activities on the site and establishing objectives and goals at the site/scene (Hazardous Waste, 2007). This allows for the efficient utilization of all the resources available as well as a performance of the response in a manner that is organized and well-controlled. In addition, Hazardous Waste (2007) asserts that risks to other members of the team are reduced when there is a defined team leader at the scene. The team leader is in charge of coordinating all the activities at the site.

This is an emergency case and requires quick action. thus, the plan should be short and reliable based on the available resources. As a team leader of HazMat, Kleiner, Rabinovitz, Weitzman, and Wiltshire (1985) affirm that my response would be to create a workable team since working as a group is beneficial in that:

Recruitment of the team coordinator/chief engineer of the production department as the first member of the team followed by the production employee who reported the spill, as well as the emergency response team members, will be my first priority as the team leader (Kleiner, Rabinovitz, Weitzman and Wiltshire, 1985). The role of the production employee is to provide directions of the structure and information about the hazardous materials inside the production site (Incident Command, 2012).&nbsp.
