The team checks labels, safety data sheets and the history of the site. If the substance is unknown, crews treat it as hazardous until it is identified.

Products are separated by type, such as flammables, corrosives and poisons. Leaking containers are placed in secondary containment right away.

3. Collect and clean

Hazardous material, empty containers and soaked items go into sealed drums or bags. Hard surfaces are cleaned, and porous materials that soaked up the substance are removed.

4. Pack, label, haul

Different products are kept apart so that they cannot react. Waste is labeled and moved by the rules that apply to its type.
