How Hazmat Cleanup Works in La Vale, MD

1. Walk the site safely

Crews observe from a safe distance and check air and surroundings before entering. They photograph labels and the spread of the release.

2. Stop the spread

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

3. Control the release

Drains are covered where needed and ignition sources are controlled. The crew works from clean areas toward the source and collects the material.

4. Hand over the records

Waste is hauled and the owner gets a list of what was removed. The crew explains what to keep for the file.
