Only whom can respond to a chemical spill?

The correct choice is the trained emergency responders because they possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and equipment required to safely handle and mitigate chemical spills. This specialized training includes understanding how to assess the risks associated with hazardous materials, implementing containment strategies, using personal protective equipment (PPE), and applying proper decontamination procedures.

While safety officers and environmental specialists may play important roles in workplace safety and environmental protection, they may not have the immediate training or authority to directly manage a chemical spill incident. Additionally, while all employees should be aware of safety protocols and respond appropriately in emergencies, only those with specific emergency responder training are qualified to handle the potentially hazardous conditions presented by a chemical spill.
