    If you are unsure if a spill contains a hazardous waste you should always:

    • Ask a Manager

    • Ignore it

    • Ask someone else to clean it

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask a Manager
    Explanation
    When unsure if a spill contains a hazardous waste, it is crucial to ask a manager for guidance. Managers are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of employees and the environment. They have the knowledge and expertise to assess the situation and determine if the spill poses any potential risks.

Therefore, seeking guidance from a manager is the best course of action in such situations.
