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.
The team writes a plan and chooses protective gear matched to the hazard. People and pets stay out of the area while gear is checked.
Product and contaminated debris come out first. The site and the crew's own equipment are then cleaned with products suited to the material.
Tools and surfaces are cleaned or discarded, waste is packed and the owner receives a summary of what was done.
