What hazmat cleanup covers:
Crews observe from a safe distance and check air and surroundings before entering. They photograph labels and the spread of the release.
Chemical-resistant suits, gloves, eye protection and respirators go on as the hazard requires. The work zone is marked and ventilation is managed.
Product and contaminated debris come out first. The site and the crew's own equipment are then cleaned with products suited to the material.
The team inspects the cleaned area and explains the result. Hazardous waste leaves the property in labeled containers for lawful disposal.
