OSHA recommends the following steps that need to be taken in order to avoid exposure to biological hazards that may be received in powder or liquid form.
- Do not empty or shake the container in which the hazard is contained.
- In case of a spill, do not try to clean the liquid or powder by yourself.
- Place the container in a plastic bag or in a trash can and then seal it.
- Remove any contaminated clothes and then seal it in a bag.
- Lock the room and keep other’s from entering it.
- Wash yourself with soap and water. Never use any disinfectant or bleach on your skin.
- Report the case to your local law enforcement agency.
- Make a list of the employees who were present in the area when the container was opened.
Follow these initial steps in order to prevent the spread of the biological hazard at your workplace.

Another good way for accidents with this kind of chemicals is by educating the workers about the hazards that it might bring and how to handle such chemicals. They can do this by providing the workers the right OSHA or Hazwoper training certification for their workers. These are the courses that teaches the employees what to do and not to do to finish the job.
