Products are separated by type, such as flammables, corrosives and poisons. Leaking containers are placed in secondary containment right away.
Crews in protective suits remove the product and the contaminated materials. Products are never mixed, and tools used on the spill are cleaned or discarded afterward.
The team inspects the cleaned area and explains what was done. Waste leaves the property in labeled containers for lawful disposal.
