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.
Flammables, corrosives, poisons and oxidizers are separated. Anything leaking is packed in secondary containment right away.
Stained concrete, soaked soil and contaminated surfaces are cleaned or removed. Tools are decontaminated or disposed of after use.
Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.
