Questions About Hazardous Materials Cleanup in West Side, Newark, NJ

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.

Can I clean up a hazardous spill myself?

Small spills of familiar products may be manageable by following the label. Large, unknown or dangerous spills are not. Never mix products. If in doubt, leave the area, keep people and pets out and call 911 or Poison Control.

Who responds to the emergency first?

Fire and emergency crews respond to immediate dangers, so call 911 first. They make the scene safe. Cleanup usually follows once they release the site. You can then get a cleanup team for removal, cleaning and disposal, and learn what records to keep.

What if a fuel or oil leak happens at my business?

Stop the source only if it is safe, keep people away and call 911 if there is fire risk or danger. A cleanup team contains the leak, removes soaked material and cleans pavement and equipment. It can also provide records for the insurer.

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.

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.
