Mission Viejo Hazmat Cleaning Questions, Answered
What does a hazmat cleaning company do?
A hazmat cleaning company contains and removes hazardous materials, cleans the affected area and equipment, and hauls the waste by the rules that apply. It usually arrives after emergency responders make the scene safe. Ask the team what it covers on your site.
How do I get rid of hazardous materials?
Do not pour them down a drain or put them in the trash. Keep them in their original containers, away from heat and children, and have a cleanup team collect anything leaking or unknown. Waste must go to a facility that can accept it.
Do OSHA rules apply to hazmat cleanup?
OSHA sets safety rules for workers who respond to and clean up hazardous substances. Professional crews follow those rules and use gear matched to the hazard. Employers have their own duties, which safety staff or an attorney can explain.
How are hazardous materials disposed of?
Waste is sorted, labeled, packed and hauled by the rules that apply to its type. It does not go in the regular trash or down a drain. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end.
What if I find unlabeled drums on a property?
Do not open, move or smell them. Keep people and pets away and take photos from a safe distance. You can get a cleanup team to identify the contents, sort them by hazard and set up lawful disposal.
What if the spill reached soil or a drain?
Keep people away and call 911 if there is danger. Cleanup teams place barriers and absorbents to stop the spread and remove contaminated soil or materials where needed. Local fire and health officials can say what must be reported.
