The Hazmat Cleaning Process in University Heights, Step by Step

1. Quiet arrival

The team arrives in an unmarked vehicle, checks in with the owner and secures the area. Suits go on at the edge of the work zone.

2. Stop the spread

Absorbent socks, berms and drain covers keep the material from traveling. Leaking containers go into secondary containment.

Barriers and absorbents stop the material from spreading. The product, damaged containers and contaminated items are collected in suitable sealed containers.

Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.
