What are the three C's in spill response?

• A. Control, Contain, Clean
• B. Control, Contain, Cancel
• C. Constrain, Contain, Clean
• D. Correct, Contain, Clean

Answer: (A)

In spill response, the actions you focus on are Contain, Control, and Clean. Contain means stopping the spill from spreading to new areas, using barriers, absorbents, or dikes as needed. Control means stopping the source of the release and reducing hazards, such as shutting off valves or isolating the spill if it’s safe to do so. Clean means removing the spilled material, decontaminating the area, and properly disposing of waste. This option lists Control, Contain, Clean, which matches the standard set of actions used in spill-response training. The other choices include terms that aren’t used for this purpose—Cancel, Constrain, or Correct—so they don’t describe the recognized sequence of spill-response steps.
