Spill Management: Spill Size
A spill that requires > 2 spill kits needs further assistance
Out with the old! No longer defined by small spill (< 5 mL) vs. large spill (> 5 mL)
Hospital policies should differentiate who is responsible for cleaning up spill and decontamination based on spill volume
Bottom line there is no definition!
i.e., “X” mL can be cleaned by a nurse, but “X” mL needs to be cleaned by a designated team
