The Chemical Cleanup Process in North Shore, Step by Step

1. Plan the response

The crew writes a plan covering the hazards, the gear and the route for waste. Questions from the owner are welcome at this stage.

2. Arrive and secure

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.

3. Contain and remove

Barriers and absorbent materials stop the spill from spreading. The substance, damaged containers and soaked items are collected in suitable sealed containers.

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.
